Once again I am going back to a UFO but
this time I am making more progress. Sewing
with friends certainly helps!
There is always something on to listen to, and
last night I helped the Enterprise crew deal with
some nasty aliens.
These crazy patch log cabins have
been kicking around my sewing area
for some time. I am excited to work on
them but other UFOs kept calling.
A good browse thru the UFO corner
and my treasure hunting was satisfied.
I can dig out the scrap strips for this
black accented beauty. We all collect
the cut-offs and edges of trimmed items.
These make great pieces for this quilt.
This partial block even got incorporated,
it looks great!
I started out with a pile of these from
I've kept moving the boxes all over the workroom!
I added a strip of black to each side using up
some assorted strips of black. The shades do
seem to vary a bit, but I am okay with it.
Next up, I sorted out my cut offs, ( I have a lot more than shown)
and added a round to the blocks. I had to call on another box of
little bits saved for scrappy boarders to get more parts
but scraps are never a scarce item in my workspace!
Once again, there seem
to be a lot more starter blocks than needed so there
will be another family set in the making.
I've only been working on enough for one top.
Now I have a nice pile going but will need to
finish them off and add a 4 or 5 inch strip of black.
This is a good place
to start using the lovely bolt of black my walking
partner sourced for me.
Trimmed to size the
blocks will be ready for a striped sashing.
There's is still a lot of stitching to do so
Stay safe and sew on !
