On and off rain here so perfect to observe the
gentle trickle from the sewing room.
Red is the color of the month and surprise, I
seem to have a bunch of red strips and bits!
Come on RSC log cabins!
Zipping up some wonky log cabin blocks
from beautiful red fabric will be a great time so
here goes.
First the centers, which are random colored 2"
squares of polka dots , (or close to polka dots!)
assorted scrap boxes, save for later bags and
other mysterious places. It is sometimes hard
to dig for a small piece when nice strips are
nearby but that is the lot of a scrap quilter with
way too many bits to tend to!
Tada! After a few days of stitching in the warm sunshine,
after the rain, there is a nice stack of red log cabins!
All the sewing and I now have a stack of
40 blocks ready for final trimming and
and an almost empty box and a small pile of red strips!
Time to replenish from the scrap bins!
Stay cool and sew on !

I love the polka dot centers. Well done for emptying a full box of scraps!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up ;)
Thanks , I still have lots of red scraps for the other RSC projects too!
DeleteWow those seem to be finished really fast. That's me assuming you got them done in one day. I need to take a page from your book and organize a log cabin leader ender project. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYep, retirement sure is fun! No babies to watch, ( they are nice and healthy in daycare) and not daytime meetings, yard work all done and I mind the current bit of weeds in the flower beds. It helped that I had strips in the red scrap drawer, it really made it faster without the need to dig out and cut more red scraps.

What fun blocks!! the polka dots are great!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could claim it's time to replenish the scrap bins. I can't seem to sew faster than the scraps accumulate. LOL I like your idea of using dots in the centers of the blocks.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I just meant go to another scrap bin for more! I am running on double digit scrap bins right now so essentially I have an endless supply !
DeleteThat is a lovely stack of red/ivory log cabins!! Inspiring actually! (I just realized I left my red/ivory plans off of my current year-end list!)
ReplyDeleteLog cabins seem to be my go-to scrap buster this year! Now to get them all quilted up! I did spend the evening making big pieces for bakes so I am on the way!
DeleteHow good it must feel to empty those scrap bins! Woot! Red's a favorite color for me and those blocks look so pretty. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
