I think this layout #4 is called Straight Furrows. The dark blocks arranged this way form a strong diagonal pattern, contrasting with the lights. I do like the symmetry of layout #5. This one may be called Barn Raising, and is a very popular choice for Log Cabin quilts. Good grief, this took forever for […]
Now that my 64 Log Cabin Blocks are finished, I have been playing around with some various layouts. The first one pictured above is how I have been arranging them up on the design wall as they were sewn. I was making the blocks four at a time, and laying them out this way helped […]
Whoops, one of these blocks is turned the wrong way. Can you spot it? I never notice these things until I take a picture and can see things from a different perspective. Just goes to show you how valuable snapping a photo of your project can be before you get it all sewn together. I've […]
I've been playing around a bit with possible setting layouts for the Log Cabin blocks I have been making for Sara's quilt. At the moment, I like this idea, but may change my mind once I get a few more blocks made and can get an idea of the effect more blocks can have when […]

I thought, "Let's just make one of these Steam Punk blocks and see how it goes". As you can see, it is going very well indeed. Have you ever seen such fun block? It's different, the level of difficulty is somewhat challenging, and the results are awesome. I was having so […]
I finally sorted out my Jacob's Ladder blocks. I was having a ridiculous time trying to get them arranged the way I wanted them. I outgrew the design wall and ended up laying out my last two rows on the floor under neath the design wall! Works for me. I was about to drive […]
Have you seen this block before? It is called Single Wedding Ring, and is really quite lovely. Fat Quarter Shop does this very cool thing called Classic and Vintage every now and then, and they feature an old fashioned (classic) quilt block made up in modern fabrics. It is actually quite fun to see the […]
