What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Middle of another week, just after the middle of the year.

These designs have all light, all dark and half light, half dark blocks.

The next two have exactly the same blocks, but with a few of them turned around.

I like the one with the dark centre … but I might change my mind after a second coffee.

Just four all dark blocks in the last, and this is my favourite for today.

Another week has flown by, so time to take a break and study some Log Cabin Quilt designs.

The first is OK, the second one is better.

Sixty half light, half dark Log Cabin blocks, four all ark logs in all but one of these designs.

My favourite for the day is the one with all traditional  light and dark blocks.

I wonder  how these would look in a mixed colour scheme … something to fill in time one day.

More Log Cabin Quilt designs mid week, next week.
 

Interesting design, pretty colours.

Are those crowns in the corners in the design above? Or birds without heads?

Another interesting one.

The one above is a slight alteration of the one above it! Less interesting, but I like it more.

The last design for this week’s mid week retreat (or coffee break) looks like an exploding star. It would be interesting to make with fading blocks around the centre star.

That is all for this week, but there will be another mid week Log Cabin retreat next week.

When I get old I will wear purple … or design purple quilts.

I am wearing some purple clothing as a warning for family and friends of what will happen when I get older than I am now!

The first four Log Cabin designs this week are very similar … minor changes in the centre of the quilt.

I checked teh designs as I selected them in the project file to make sure they were different, but have just double checked because I thought I had missed a repeat! Perhaps i am older than I think I am!

Just did another check ...

First design in a new series is very interesting .

I like the second design too.

Notice that the blocks with half dark and half light strips around them start with darks strips added to the centre square first. I am using blocks started with the light colour first as well as starting with dark, but the design above has all blocks starting by adding dark to the centre first.

Lots of floating dark triangles are now possible.

Floating dark squares too! Small differences, but fun to play with.
