I needed a no brainer sewing project. And the log cabin I made last year using scrap red and green 2.5" strips was really quick, so I was easily lured into a new project.
The main problem I have is a lack of distinct colours left in my stash of pre cut strips and a very deleted supply of neutrals. I didnt want to make blocks for no reason. So chose autumn tones, as that is what I had and I could use them for a friends mothers quilt (her prefered palette they assure me) if needed. I agreed to sew up blocks made by the family, to celebrate a special birthday. But the deadline for blocks hasn't arrived yet. However as nobody in the family is a quilter, these blocks are my back up plan, in case I only get sent a few blocks!
I can see one strip that I considered neutral, is reading as dark in this photo. Might need to do some unpicking...we will wait and see!
I thought at first with your autumn colors you were being influenced se of us in the northern hemisphere. It will be fun to what blocks you recieve.
ReplyDeleteI like the autumn colors, but I have to add that a log cabin is not mindless sewing to me. I have managed to mess up value placement if I don't concentrate closely. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what the family-made blocks are like. I hope they are not too challenging to work with!
