A log cabin variation

Happy Thursday!! I am attempting to make a quilt like Lori's, at the Humble Quilter. She had the coolest quilt on her bed for Fourth of July...and I asked permission and she granted it, to try and duplicate it!! If you click on the picture, you can see the colors better. It is made from leftover shirts and plaid strips.

But as you know, those quilts take on a life of their own!! So here is where I am. It is much brighter in person...I am enjoying it so far!

The blocks centers are fun, made of a plaid, almost gingham. I will keep working on this one...

And Rosie is always in on the action!! My constant little helper...Love her!!

Have a great day, everyone!!

Nann said...: Oh, does that design take me back! 20+ years ago I saw a similar design in a magazine at the supermarket (fewer rails, I recall). I sketched the block on my shopping list (feeling very surreptitious and clever). I didn't know about scrappy combinations back then so the quilt I made far less lively than yours. It may be time to try the design again!; July 16, 2015 at 7:12 PM

You are going to enjoy that quilt and will smile every time you look at it...
