What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

First design is very interesting!

The next three designs could all use more dark pieces, but I like them without the extra colour as the quilting can be seen all over the top.

In the design above there are eight more blocks with dark added.

More Log Cabin quilt designs mid week, next week.

The first two designs this week are exactly the same …

I like the centre of the third one as well.

Another middle bit to add to my list of favourites!

I love the way that most of the quilting is simply lines following the seam lines, though I would put that line just to one side of the pieced line, with a few curly lines to make use of the light parts of the Log Cabin blocks.

This ...

Interesting!

SAme blocks, different quilting. I like it more than the first one.

Above is a monotone Log Cabin quilt, or the side which most quilters just have to have a look at, no matter how great the front of the quilt looks.

I love the one above …

… and the last design for today.

More Log Cabin designs next week, mid week!
