End of The Stack Log Cabin

Remember all those Log Cabin tops from 2 years ago now?

Well here is the last one.

I had combined all my all my log cabin blocks into one pile.

I thought I could make two quilt tops out of them.

Revaluating, it turns out I really only have enough blocks

to make one small quilt.

However, I never really listen to 

what the blocks tell me so

 I'm going to turn it into a larger quilt

by trying to design a border. So here we go!

Now it's on the design wall,

so I'm getting getting ready to sew up blocks 

to finish this center and increase the size. 

There are four blocks that look like

 they have a corner arrangement. 

Those will be moved out to be corners of the bigger quilt.

Here are all the centers for the additional blocks I'll need.

I'm still using the polka dot centers. 

Every time I see a polka dot fabric,

 I cut out some centers!  Needless to say,

 I have a lot of centers.

There may be more polka dot-centered 

Log Cabin quilts in my future!

For now I'm finishing up this Log Cabin.

The center squares are all done.

This is the lovely bag of scraps 

I'm using to make the edging squares. 

Thank you LT!

I wanted an edge looking border so I followed

the court house step pattern,

but used some careful color placement. 

One good evening of stitching should

got them done! 

The voids are filled and the border looks

like a winning plan. 

All pinned to the design wall and 

needing a bit of movement. There are a few colors 

here that could use better friends!

A  New Year's sew along popped up so I was able to finish 

the edging square and stitch up the top. 

Can anyone see the small revolution 

starting near the bottom?

Here is the finished top with a few repositioned blocks. 

The border was quite successful.

The four corner blocks worked perfectly,

 so that makes it even better!

Only 2  blocks left to decorate the back . 

Now to move on to pinning!

It should be a great way to finish out 2024 leftovers!

Stay safe and sew on!
