What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

A bit different to the average Log Cabin Quilt!

I like the one above … once again, very different!

Middle one for this week, and it is about the most ordinary of the five.

I have just had an idea … what if I the Drunkards Path template was enlarged and pieced along with some plain squares, and arranged in some of these designs? Perhaps it could be a great way to use large floral fabrics.

Finishing this week’s collection of Log Cabin designs is one more very different arrangement.

That is all for this week, more Log Cabin designs to ...

The first design makes me think of a spider web. Interesting.

The design above is interesting too.

I like the design above!

Another interesting design.

I like the last for this week too!

I love going to a quilt exhibition and seeing Log Cabin quilts, but am disappointed that almost all of them are replicas of age old designs … nothing new. My favourite Log Cabin designs include some of those age old designs, but I would love to see new designs too … some of them could added to my favourites.

Wow! A bit of a tangle.

Same blocks with a twist.

I like the one above.

Like the one above more than the one above it!

The last one is my favourite for the day, and this weeks Mid Week Log Cabin Retreat.

That is all for this weeks Mid Week quilter’s Log Cabin Retreat … more next week.

Not even many variations of the curved Log Cabin blocks in the first design, and none of the rest of the variations of Log Cabin that are included in the + sign in the title.

Interesting mix of curves and straight rows of little squares in the second.

My favourite of this weeks collection is above!

Love the centre of the one above … it made me think of the ornate speakers on some of the old Bakelite radios, with waves of sound around it.

That’s all for this week’s mid week retreat from the crazy world

This time next ...

I am glad I do not have to make a choice from today’s designs to go and buy fabric and start cutting! there is not a lot to separate them so I think i have started with my least favourite, but still very much a favourite.

The second one looks more like a beaded project than Log Cabin Cornertstones.

My first thought when I opened this design was ‘look at those round corners’.

The one above would make a stunning tiled floor, or perhaps a feature wall.

I would like to add some wide borders to all of these ...

I like the first design for today …

… and the second …

… you guessed right if you guessed that I like the third!

When I opened this project there were no designs in there that I haven’t already shared, so I picked some designs and made some simple changes to ten of them, so not only did I get designs for today, I have five more to share another day.

I even like the last design though the thought of trying to put this one together makes my head spin.

That is all for this week … five designs to distract you ...

Middle of the week so time to spend a few minutes looking at Log Cabin quilt designs.

Like the first design.

Second one is interesting, but room for improvement …

… better, but still more room for improvement.

Getting better all the time!

I think that is about as far as I can go to improve this project file so the file will be placed in the filing cabinet for future reference if required, but will not be active in the foreseeable future.

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

Middle of the week again, and life is returning to normal in my part of the world, and I haven’t finished digging up and replanting the garden, or sorting out all my EQ block library, or cutting out sashing to put a wall hanging together. But there is now a quilt retreat to look forward to in just over a month!

I liked the first one, but had to try changing the middle blocks on each side … like it more now.

Love the third design.

Like the next one too.

The last one is almost lacy!

That is all ...

Interesting. It seems like only yesterday I shared Log Cabin designs, but that is because this post has been scheduled so I don’t miss any days, especially mid week, during what is a busy week.

Something to try while sitting at the sewing machine … juggling some fabric balls.

Probably not a great idea because of all the sharp objects we have in our sewing spaces!

Love the one above!

The one above looks like it was designed by a drunk spider … and it would be a challenge to piece even if you only thought about having a drink!

Love ...
