Wonky Log Cabins for June

Hi all,

I just got back from mailing packages of fabric to all of you.  Detailed instructions are included with the fabric, but here is a photo of what I’m (roughly) looking for.

Hope all of you have a terrific holiday weekend!

Sorrel

more little squares

Ditto the other comments about drooling over Dorrie’s stash.  These fabrics are beautiful!  Can’t wait to see the whole quilt.

My next project is to get packages of fabric put together to send out to all of you for June.  I’ll have directions included – it’s pretty simple.

the reveal

I finished the top of my drunk love quilt last night and am excited to share it with ya’ll.

lots of little squares

Oh, the fabric envy… your stash must be fabulous Dorrie.  This is a super fun block. I am taking part in a vintage sheet swap right now and a quilt like this is at the top of my list to make with that fabric.

Late but Early: my morning circles

I got up early this morning and whipped these off with no trouble.

I had planned to use the freezer paper method, but ease and speed got the better of me; applique it is! The circles are backed with fusible interfacing, which helped prevent warping during the zigzag contour, and also should eliminate fraying.

I’m quite partial to this one. Sort of the disappearing circle.

(I recently painted my kitchen table red, hence the red border on everything.)

So here, Angie. Finally! Now I just have to post them.

Leaning Tower for Adrienne

Finally finished this block up last night. The wonkiness wasn’t intentional, but hopefully it works with the precarious tower of books. I am so enjoying getting to try new things for this bee. Thanks Ladies! Now … on to the circles.

Way Behind

Finally finished Adrienne’s block for March. I added quite a few of my own fabrics. I was going for a scrappier look. I was inspired by the bento box from your group.

Half Square Triangles Galore

I have finally finished up Adrienne’s mini quilt block.

I opted for lots of half square triangles.  I like this pattern a lot!  I hope you do too! 🙂

Circles Done

Midge (my sewing machine) and I finally had time to get together yesterday.  Two blocks for Angie are sewn and ready to send.  I used Anna Maria Horner’s Super Circles tutorial from her book Seams to Me. 

My original plan for block 1 was to layer 3 circles instead of just the one, but it didn’t look right.  Block 2 used the now leftover circles and strips of each fabric. 

I had a lot of fabric left over, but it is cut into strips.  I thought I would need more strips than I did.  I am sending them back to you.  I am betting you can use them in the future. =]
