<br />
I saw a similar star log cabin in a log cabin book a few years ago, and based my design on that, with several changes.<br />
<br />
While this quilt is only 4 colors (counting the light an darker yellows), you can collect as many fabrics for it as possible.<br />
<br />
To rotary cut this quilt without dealing with 1/8 and 1/16 cuts, the finished size of each block will be 12 inches square, and the finished size of the quilt (including 1 inch borders) will be 86 x 86.<br />
<br />
Ready?<br />
You will need:<br />
<br />
REDS: 1 1/2 yards - (one or more reds)<br />
DARK YELLOWS: 1 1/2 yards (one or more dark yellows/golds) <br />
BLACK OR READS BLACK: 5 5/8 (one or more blacks - also this includes the border)<br />
LIGHT YELLOWS: 1 1/4 yards (one or more lighter yellows/golds).<br />
<br />
Now then, start collecting your fabrics. When you've collected your fabrics (I think I'm still collecting mine), wash, press, and starting cutting :<br />
<br />
REDS 2 1/2 inch squares (you will need 21)<br />
DARK YELLOW 2 1/2 inch squares (you will need 28)<br />
<br />
I prefer the "personal measurement method" of sewing log cabins, so cut 1 1/2 inch strips (x width of fabric), rather than cut each square before you've measured. <br />
<br />
Next time we'll start sewing these log cabins together. Stay tuned!!<br />
<br />

If you go to <strong>Pat Sloan's blog, </strong>(click above), she is going to be doing a challenge later for red and white quilts. Hmmm.... maybe that's the push I need?<br />

It's just a snippet, and not a quilt, but I finished my daughter in law's afghan. Try crocheting an afghan when it's 110 outside! I do need a better picture of the afghan. She picked out some gorgeous colors!<br />

This is the quilt I made for our oldest granddaughter. She picked out most of the fabrics. It's hand embroidered, hand appliqued, machine pieced, hand quilted. She was able to follow it's making (since she moved to Georgia with her family) on her own blog - sadiequilt.blogspot.com.<br />
So each of our four grandchildren have one hand quilted, and in most cases, hand pieced and/or appliqued and/or embroidered quilt from me.</div>Lin on Mainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819194301967180593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17697748.post-39045653678118404932008-05-31T23:18:00.002-07:002011-03-28T11:53:59.444-07:00Tree skirt, grandmother's flower garden<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The grandmother's flower garden pictured here was made for my first grandson Joshua. Hand pieced, using 30s reproduction fabrics, and hand quilted. I'd love to make another one, and keep playing with designs.<br />
<br />
The tree skirt is one of two - this one was made in traditional reds and greens for my son Erik and his family. Machine pieced and machine quilted, the quilting includes the names of the family (including Ethan), and of course the family dog, Scooter!)<br />

Here's some other pictures from the crazy quilt swap - some stuff I did on other pieces. The swap is over now and I'm looking forward to seeing mine soon.

This is another swap I'm in - an applique swap. One person does an applique center, the next a pieced border, the third something else... etc till it's done. Deb's center block was a challenge - till I found a Kessler Concord fabric that looks like it was what she pulled her fabrics from! I love this! I'm really looking forward to seeing what it looks like completed.</div>Lin on Mainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819194301967180593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17697748.post-1140394326768161542006-02-19T17:09:00.001-07:002011-03-28T11:52:33.676-07:00Now a pillow<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/1600/IMG_0966.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/320/IMG_0966.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a><br />

Well, it just doesn't get any better than this - The Steelers won the Superbowl! I ordered 2 large Vincent's pizzas flown in from Pittsburgh for the game - when I called they didn't batch an eyelash. You can't get it delivered in Pittsburgh, but you can get Vincent's pizza delivered to Arizona! Even the dogs liked it.</div>Lin on Mainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819194301967180593noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17697748.post-1132994537566570262005-11-26T01:34:00.001-07:002011-03-28T11:53:09.539-07:00Crazy quilting<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/1600/IMG_0823.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/320/IMG_0823.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a><br />

The next block was made by Kim. She decided her 'uncomfort zone' included blue and orange. Lillian took one look at that and decided that it called for a desert island, complete with palm tree and lazy ocean waves -with an underwater scene that included a seahorse!<br />
<br />
I added a sunset, a beaded waterfall, and some shells to embellish a seam. This is going to be a great crazy quilt block!<br />
<br />
I was really happy with the waterfall - and I've included a close up of it. <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/1600/IMG_0824.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1923/1326/320/IMG_0824.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a> I'll include what beads/threads I used later.<br />
<br />
I wanted the shells to look as if they were 'settling' down at the bottom of the ocean. I learned to use a dremel drill - I didn't like the way they were drilled, so I redrilled them.<br />
<br />

Recently I've rediscovered a love of crazy quilting and quilts. I'm participating in a 'Difficult Color' round robin.<br />
<br />
The purpose was to challenge ourselves to think outside our color comfort zones. I chose to use browns, and since I'm in love with Irish Setters, the center of my block was an Irish Setter. You can see a picture here after the first round and Gemma had embellished it some.</div>Lin on Mainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819194301967180593noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17697748.post-1132991984743257662005-11-26T00:57:00.000-07:002005-11-26T01:05:48.393-07:00I've decided to use this forum to publish pictures of quilts I make, quilts I particpate in making, quilts I like, etc. Also in here will be quilting (traditional and crazy), redwork, and other needlearts; websites that cater to needlearts, and general musings.Lin on Mainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819194301967180593noreply@blogger.com0
