This is my version of a modified log cabin block.
Start with a 2 1/2" square. From 1 1/2" wide scraps you will need one 2 1/2" strip, two 3 1/2" strips, two 4 1/2" strips, two 5 1/2" strips and one 6 1/2" strip. This is the amount needed for each quarter of the block. I know some of you are down to your last few scraps, so I thought this was a great way to use up those last little bits. I did use a contrasting light colour for the last two strips so that there was a secondary design within the block.
Sew the strips in the order shown, carrying on till all are added. Make three more 6 1/2" blocks.
Plan your lay out and sew together.
This would be a really fun block to play with in a quilt.
Now for the last prize for the quilt along.
An autographed copy of "New York Beauty Diversified." I am going to draw for this on February 15th so that everyone has a chance to get their blocks done, and hopefully a few finished tops will be posted. I hope to have my three tops finished shortly and will post pics to give you a few ideas for settings.
And there you go! Great job on the quilt along Linda. Congrats to all you ladies who made your blocks
ReplyDelete#20 Log cabin! It will have many possibilities for sure.
ReplyDeleteMore great blocks. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a great ride....thanks Linda, I loved it (and I actually kept up).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do next!
And anxious to see your settings........
Hoping to get my last block done SOON... If I use my "sad" blocks I will have thirty blocks. So I just might do that! Look forward to getting this last block done. Thanks Linda for all of your hard work.
