so far this Saturday

This week I added more log cabin blocks to the pile....
This really is a new group, it was my goal this week...to get a bunch more blocks finished. I was just taking the picture and the phone rang...it was Karen.
Her blueblock quilt was finished. Yes, right down to the binding.
She told me she had emailed me the pics.

She didn't have enough of any single blue for the binding.
So she used up a bunch of smaller scraps to piece it together.


From the small sections I can see in the photos....I really like the way that looks. This is something I need to remember....

I always thought it would get to crooked or weird. But it doesn't, it works!
It is sitting on her dining room table, which is your average sized dining table...
That's as close as I can get to saying how big it is....

Then I went back to my log cabin blocks. I was thinking I wanted the corners to be all dark....so I tried making all dark log cabins. I didn't get the dark/verydark contrast I wanted. It is rather confusing when all the fabrics are dark. The jury is still out on whether or not I will use these or try again. It doesn't look bad in the picture.


It makes the corners "dark" which is what I wanted. I'll keep 'em for this.
