And so soon too ..
It really is very unusual for me to be blogging again so soon .. but I received a package from
a lovely friend in North Carolina yesterday and would like to share with you all what I received
Here they are ... 2 of the most gorgeous log-cabin blocks and the teeniest little key charm ... so lovely ... now these blocks are soooo great ... the larger is 6 inches and the weenie one is 3 inches small ...
can you see the little charm there under the blocks .. I tried to get a separate photo of it ..
but it was way too little ... thank you so much Blondie ... I really love these ...
Now this got me thinking about how I could be making some
teeny weeny log-cabin blocks with all my scraps .... but I then realised that
my scraps were all way too big for these … so .. I went scrounging through all
the bits I had previously thrown into my rubbish bin and found so much fabric
that I could use in these wee ones ... and ... oh my .. how very wasteful I am
... so much fabric just getting tossed to the tip .... shameful really ..
especially when these gorgeous little blocks can be made ..
So I printed off a 3 inch log-cabin foundation paper pieced
pattern and proceeded to sew my little bits of scraps into a beautiful block ..
and oh my … how lovely it turned out …
I took it to show my Hubby … who was very impressed … so
much so that he suggested I should make all different ones … but .. I want to
make these …. Oh he said … so the others are all too hard … haha ... that man
has lived with me for over 30 years and knows just what buttons to push … so I took
up his challenge .. and made 2 others …. A little teenie weenie dimensional pinwheel
and a grandmothers fan …. These were the 2 particular blocks he told me would
be almost impossible for me to make that small …. HA!!! … I proved him wrong … and
I am very pleased I did .. cos now I have these lovely little blocks to add to
an ever growing collection of quilt blocks …
I know that they are a bit rough around the edges ... but they were fun to make .. and I think as I continue to make this little beauties .. I will only get better at them ... but ... I really want to make some more of the log-cabin ones before I venture off making others ... I shall not be listening to that man .. he causes me to take up things I really have not got time for .. haha ..
Oh how clever you are! they are wonderful little treasures!
