Crazy times here!

 My black log cabin is gettin' a lot of stitchin'!

All the blocks are at the black border stage and 

I have finally figured out a process for them. 


First, after trimming the extra color strips, 

measure up and place an appropriate strip on the side. 




An assortment of the bordering strips seem to make it 

easier to bring the blocks up to size. 

Lining up all the pieces to be sewn makes 

the stitching faster and satisfies my need to 

see some organization in the mess!


There is still the occasion to piece on a bit of the 

edge but the only alternative is to cut a 5 x 9 in rectangle 

to fill in a sharply angled edge.  Both techniques are used 

in these blocks. 

The next step after all 2 sets of blocks are framed in black, 

will be to stitch up every nearby scrap of color into a 

variable width sashing.  This may present a problem as 

the art quilt that is shown in my pattern is much smaller and 

possibly has some fused or appliqued sashing! Forging 

ahead will be an adventure, wish me luck. I am going 

to make getting these all to the sashing stage my 

goal for July !  

Stay safe and sew on !
