The Log Cabin for This Year

The rainbow log cabin challenge has been a 
great way to keep me inspired and working on my
scrap pile.  Last year I managed to make a nice stack
of multicolored log cabins to use, gift and donate. 



This year's search for a similar project is 
proving difficult. It has to be a nice looking 
project without a lot of complex pieces. 
I would also like a pattern I want to do. 
Border Creek Station  is a triple Irish chain so I am 
doing it for one of my monthly RSC blocks.


There are many variations of string 
quilt blocks so I many stitch up a bunch of 
those each month. They would use 
lots of strings and that is a very good thing.
The string strips are really piling up!



There are  a number of RSC projects from last 
year to finish up too. The garlic knots got pushed aside, 
so that project is back on the RSC list for 2024.


The fiddle stixs blocks got a very slow start,
so I am going to stick it right into the waffle blocks
scrap project that I am using for a RSC project.


One of my all time favorites, the little wonky stars 
is an ongoing block.  Crumb blocks and crumb strips
are also on the nice easy sewing list that I can do 
anytime I just want to stitch and not worry about a pattern.
They both make great additions to finish off 
crumb quilt blocks or enlarge a block pattern. 



There certainly seems to be enough to keep me sewing!
Stay safe and sew on !

  1. Seems like a good group of projects to work on for RSC. If the log cabins made you happy though, I would add them to the list. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2024/02/14/wednesday-wait-loss-367

  2. Oh I love love garlic knots! I'm kinda looking for my next scrappy one too. Keep leaning toward some sort of chain but haven't quite put my finger on it yet. Good luck with all of your projects. So fun to tear through the scraps!
