Last week, during a couple of rainy days, I decided to flip my closet. This takes a couple of days to pull out everything, switch winter things for summer colors, look at every piece to see if it needs mending, donating or trashing, and trying on almost everything I haven’t worn in a while. Read about my whole process in the post What’s In Your Closet? (I’m still using the jewelry trick I figured out on that post). I usually do this earlier in the year, but I let it slide until now.

I was at a quilt retreat this weekend with my quilting buddies. I brought plenty of projects to work on, but a local quilt shop had a sale going on so I bought some beautiful fabric.

Deb Tucker is introducing her newest fabric collection from Island Batik – Squiggles and Dots. I decided to make a small quilt using Deb Tucker’s “Curved Log Cabin Technique Sheet“.
A Curved Log Cabin Block is really an optical illusion. The block is made up of one center square with a series of narrow and wide logs sewn around the center square. It sounds easy, but if you’ve ever tried to make them, you know that it is tough to get them to come out the way you want them – nice and square. Studio 180 Design’s technique has ...
