Here I am making log cabin blocks again! I thought it would take me some time to make another project that involved log cabin blocks after finishing Sara's Log Cabin quilt earlier this year. I swore I was done with that block after making 64 of them for her quilt.
No problem, I still have a few left in me I guess. This current Raise the Roof project requires 32 of them, and you see a dozen of them finished in the photo at the top of the post.
I am happy to say that this project is going along pretty well. Once I got into it, I really made the effort to spend some regular sewing time on it. Eva starts school next week, so my sewing schedule can be even more regular in the upcoming months. I swear, since that child gave up her nap, I never get anything done!
Have a great weekend everyone, and I hope you manage to fit some sewing into it.

Love your log cabin…could you tell me the name of the quilt pattern that is at the top of your post (header)…couldn’t find a link in you blog…and is this a pattern of yours? If not where might I find it…thanks…
I just realized in your picture that there’s a HST in the center of the block. I didn’t see it pattern when I looked at it need to pay more attention.Have a wonderful weekend, too.
I love those scrappy lights. I’ve been too chicken to attempt using several lights, and I’ve always opted for the safe, one background fabric route. Between you and Miss Rosie for inspiration, I should be able to break thru my fear one day!!! LOL Have a fabulous weekend, Nicole.

Congratulations! You caught the Log Cabin Bug. I love Log Cabins and have made several quilts using these blocks. I never tire of the versatility of the blocks. There is a quilter I know of who makes only Log Cabin quilts. Welcome to the club.
Love the HST’s in the center! That’s a fun twist to the traditional log cabin block! It’s hard to believe that Eva is starting school–wasn’t she just ‘Baby E??’
Can’t wait to see all of these blocks put together. I have always wanted to make Raise the Roof but just continue to do other projects. This quilt has such a beautiful layout and use of light and dark fabric.
I’ve never seen a hst in the middle of a log cabin block but I really like it. I may just have to make another log cabin quilt, too.
Log cabins are my favourite! I sew them in batches of 4 – 8 at a time. I’ll never be done with them for good.
Oh, my goodness! Eva is starting school already. How quickly the time passes.
Love your log cabin photos. One of my favorite blocks, but I know what you are saying. I usually need a break from piecing them about midway.
Love your finished Log Cabin quilt but also love the centre of your new blocks. Have yet to make one for myself. I`d love to do a curved Log Cabin. Happy Stitching.
