A New Log Cabin Design in Purples and Yellows

I started a new log cabin tablerunner today. This time, I did not use a jellyroll and was very careful in my fabric selection especially since I wasn't happy with the jellyroll strips for my last project. My fabrics include three purples and three yellows.

My quilting guild challenged us to make projects using the log cabin designs so I am continuing this challenge with my newest project. I think I have adequate contrast and saturation with these fabrics. 

I have one block completed to share with you. The other three blocks are just about done too.  The center block is green and I plan to use this green for the backing and maybe a border.

I'll give you an update in a few days when this project is done. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have time to leave a message - Judy.

My Not So Typical Log Cabin Placemats & Runner Are Done

I did get my "Not So Typical Log Cabin Placemats and Runner are done and on the table for St. Patrick's Day.

I used a jelly roll for this project and haven't been exactly please with the color saturation and not enough contrast in the strips. 

I'm thankful it's done and I can move on to the next project.

Valentine's Day Table Runner

I finished another table runner for Valentine's Day. This is my second log cabin to complete.

I just love the color combo of the Moda fabric.  Who would have thought of red, white, and aqua for Valentine's Day but I love it. But aqua is my favorite color!

This was a pre-cut kit. I quilted it on my sewing machine using stitch in the ditch and clear thread. 

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Not Your Typical Log Cabin

I have been working on a log cabin table runner and placemats the past few days. The pattern uses a jelly roll. Wish I would have used a different jelly roll; there seems to be too much saturation of color and not enough contrast. Take a look:

I'll keep you posted on the finished project - Judy.

Valentine Table Topper

I'm thankful to be sewing again in 2018 and working on a Valentine Table Topper. The fabrics are mostly from the Moda Sweetness Collection:

The table runner is featured on the cover of the Winter Vol 2 Issue 1 of the Missouri Star Block Idea Book.

I have completed the four hearts for the center of the topper.

As you saw above, my topper isn't just red and white like the one on the cover. My initial plan was for red and white fabrics but when I saw the aqua and red Moda valentine fabrics, I knew they were going home with me. More next time!

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Christmas Quilt - finished and delivered

I finished my Christmas quilt just in time for Christmas. Here it is a pic of it on my king size bed before I wrapped it up to go under the tree. 

I worked on the quilt for several months and made a couple of post during my progress.  The colors aren't your typical Christmas colors.  

The quilt is a Christmas gift for my daughter. She is holding the quilt for a quick picture below.

She loved the quilt and especially the colors. I am thankful I was able to make this special quilt for my daughter.

Thanks for stopping by - Judy.
