{#38} New Log Cabin Blocks


On the left above is another wedding shower quilt, w/o the borders...those are to come soon.

On the right is a quilt I started this AM for a future wedding gift.  I think it's still quite a few months out, will have to check with the MOG.  Anywho...the center for the ones on the right are 4" finished HST and each log is 1" finished, making each block a whopping 10-1/2" square.  The blocks on the left finish at 5" square.  This is entirely acceptable to me because the left set will be a wall hanging and the right ones will be a bed quilt.  This is definitely clearing out my 1-1/2" strips box.

The centers will be a large variety of prints.  I wanted to finish 4 of them this AM so I could determine if this was the size I wanted to use.  So I just grabbed a chunk of fabric off my cutting table (that happened to be the left over border from this) and made 4 of the same centers.  With scrap quilting, the pieces just recycle from quilt to quilt...sometimes it seems they never entirely go away!

Upward and onward with wedding chores to finish...
