I spent the majority of this past week getting the bindings on my two Gone Fishing Quilts. I still have my Picnic Under the Stars quilt that also needs its binding sewn on and the handwork done on it. But I took a bit of a break and worked on Wonky log cabin blocks.
I originally had three blocks done last week with the dark colored logs all the same print. I discovered that if I did that I would not have enough jelly roll strips to get 30 blocks completed. So did a bit of un-sewing and did them with two different dark fabrics. So a bit over half done with these guys. Have all the remaining blocks cut and ready to go. Shannon Brinkley had this free appliqué pattern available this past week. I still have a lot of Tilda fabrics left over from a previous project so thought I would make a pretty spring runner. I had several linen fabrics stashed away and ran across this one with a textured grid. I think I will do the appliqué with invisible thread and a small zigzag with a very light weight batting and not do any quilting except for the appliqué stitching as my quilting. I think the textured grid on the fabric is perfect. Just have another appliqué bloom to set down on the other end of the runner and finish this up with a pretty Tilda binding.
Your blocks and applique are all very pretty!
ReplyDeleteNeat blocks and such a pretty applique piece.
ReplyDeleteYour Wonky log cabins are really coming along. I love that linen fabric, and the design is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour wonky lag cabins blocks are really fun, love all those spring colors. Your new applique project is really pretty too. Happy stitching this week, you certainly have brought spring to your sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your blocks I had to dig around to see if I had the ruler for them. And I do, so now the ruler is out where I can be reminded to make these blocks.
ReplyDeletePretty collection of wonky log cabin blocks, and it's nice to have all the pieces ready to be sewn. The tulips look good too!
