Well, here is how it goes. I had my blue fabrics pulled out to make my small log cabin/embroidery piece in my last post, and I thought...what if I made those log cabin blocks bigger? So I ended up slicing ALL my dark blue fabrics up into 1.5 inch side strips and I was off to the races. I have not ONE dark blue fabric left, LOL!
I sewed an hour each night...I mean the middle of the night! LOL! I go to bed at the usual time, but always end up waking up at about 3 AM and sewing...it is quiet thing to do and so I get a lot done then. I ended up with 89 blocks, and they are 8 inch, 7.5 inch finished.
In the days when I am off, I run around and clean house and intermittently make nursing caps. I am getting faster at that!
Dotti was kind enough to share this pattern too. I have some cut out with this pattern as well. Big thanks for the Bolt Quilt Shop, and to Dotti, too!

Today, I am mowing the lawn and baking a little after that. Seven layer bars! I have been making my own bread, but I cannot find yeast locally...I will look on Amazon.
Have a great day, all!!!

I like this kind of lunacy. Your blocks look really good.
I applaud you for sewing the nurses caps!
all gorgeous blocks....
I was playing with my Log Cabin blocks recently too!
I would be out of dark blue fabric after about five blocks---not a color I buy much :)
Stay cool...
I love your log cabins! :0)
Oh, my goodness! You are like going at warp speed. No Blue fabric left?! Your block are great. Take care.
Oh Wow!! I just love your log cabin quilt. Blue is my favorite color --I really am in love with the layout also. Good job---although it sounds like you could use some sleep. LOL!! Take care of yourself. Maxine Reisenleiter qbym@att.net
Love love the blue log cabin quilt Julie.Take Care and try and rest
The quilt is lovely and many of us are night owls for our sewing. If you need more scraps, by all means give a shout out cause I will NEVER run out!! The baking sounds so fun. I am an art therapist at an assisted living facility and my days off are for sewing and recharging. IT's the only thing keeping me sane in these stressful times. However, I do think about sourdough bread baking. Maybe one day....
Email me your mailing address and I will mail you a big brick of yeast. It is back in stores around here so it is an easy thing to do. Karakrantz1991atgmaildotcom
You continue to amaze me. I absolutely adore those dark blue log cabins!
Kudos for making your own bread,Julie. I've been using the bread machine. Your log cabin piece is stunning! Good luck with the chores.
So much work, but these are looking wonderful! Everyone in my family would be alarmed if I was up at that time using the sewing machine.:) Good that it works so well for you!
I have been making this French bread lately and it's a hit with everyone and very easy to do. https://www.melskitchencafe.com/french-bread/
Your little log cabin blocks is beautiful! I don't know how you can get up at 3 AM to quilt! I can stay up as long as anyone, but once in bed, I'm there until morning. Maybe I should set an alarm at 3 and try it? ---"Love"
No lunacy here!! Just gorgeous blocks!!
I finally found yeast in May, but then my bread machine broke.
