I
don't have a finished quilt top yet; however, I have finished a good
pile of blocks from 2 projects. Last year I adopted a UFO from a
guild member. This week I finished the 5 paper-pieced sunburst
blocks.
The
original pattern makes a wall-hanging. I would like to make a lap
size quilt so need more neutral fabric. This project is on hold
until I go out fabric shopping. I don't trust the fabric photos
online and want to see the actual fabric to match beige tones.
After some yard and
garden work, I pulled out 8 unfinished half log string blocks from
about 8 years ago. I added more strips to measure 12 1/2” and
finish at 12”. Then I pieced 12 more blocks for a total of 20 (4
by 5 layout) which will make a lap size 48” by 60” quilt.
I would like to get them
pieced into a top today; however, I have agreed to sew more fabric
face masks and that will probably take priority.
I'm linking up with Whoop,Whoop Friday and Finished or Not Friday. Check out what others are
working on.
Sewing and Quilting is a wonderful way to pass time while staying safe and healthy and doing something to help others.
Love the log cabin blocks. The colors are bright, bold and make for a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to make half log string block into a quilt, yours is so colorful and happy! Good job,
ReplyDeleteI understand why you want to go to a fabric store in person to get just the right fabric to do justice to those lovely (and labor-intensive) sunbursts. The bright strings are so lively! Face masks are never-ending, I know.
ReplyDeleteOh Oh that half log blocks is so colorful and cheery!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE your Half Log Cabin Strings!!!
