What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It has been a while since I opened this project file, and I had sort of forgotten what was in it, but I was impressed when I opened it this morning.

I love the strong contrast between light and dark. I should have looked for 4 very light fabrics but used just one to achieve the contrast I wanted. I would use the same fabric for the last round of logs and teh filler around the outside of the hexagonal pieced blocks.

Interesting experiment in teh second design … I turned the colours used for the logs inside out in the ...

Interesting. Very neat.

Wow! Anything but neat!

Small change, but it seems to be neater than the previous one.

A bit neater and tidier.

Different!

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

Interesting.

Very interesting … and the corners are leading my mind to some modifications to make for future reference.

All but eight of the blocks in the design above are identical, but I like what they do to the overall design.

I thought I would like it better with more light blocks in the corner, but have decided that I like the original.

Saved my favourite until last … though I think I would like it better on a table than on a bed.

That is all for this week’s Log Cabin mid week retreat … another collection of Log Cabin quilt ...

I created this pattern November 2018 for an Island Batik Log Cabin Challenge. It has been a popular pattern in my Etsy Shop ever since. This is a variation on the Log Cabin block and is a fun way to use your Square/Squared, Tucker Trimmer I & Wing Clipper I tools.

I named my original design “Converging Geese” because each block has ...

Not my favourite colours, but I like the design.

I like the second one too. I love playing with contrast and design … colour is a more personal choice.

The middle one of today’s designs is OK, but doesn’t excite me.

Another one I like!

The last design for the day is probably the weakest link for me.

If I ever feel compelled to make a Log Cabin quilt I might choose the second one, but I would make a couple of modifications!

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week so you can have a very short retreat ...

Interesting.

Love the second one!

The next one is neat and tidy.

The one above morphed into a Fishing Cabin project file.

The last design for this week’s mid week retreat is interesting … I am going to have a play to see what I can add to the project file for future posts.
