I've just completed 41 Log Cabin
blocks for the outer border (one block will cover a decorative pillow). I
like this look better than all those triangles (in the EQ7 design, below); I'm
always partial to the Log Cabin design. Now to piece them together.
They'd make a fine quilt, on their own, I think.
Some of those plaids were warped
beyond repair. I tried and tried and
tried to cut and sew them straight! This is the best I could do. I still have to do the blocks for the
corners.
Before I started cutting the strips
for these blocks, I photographed my fabric and then looked at them in black and
white, so as to determine which was light and which was dark. Funny, how
colors can fool the eye! This way, I can better decide which fabrics to use
where, in order to get the somewhat three-dimensional look characteristic of
the Log Cabin block.
