I'm using the block from the Thimble Blossoms quilt called Sweet Escape, though I may go with a different setting. The blocks finish at 10" square, with each log 1" wide.
All the fabric (except the aqua used on the "light" side) is from my stash, mostly leftovers from these two quilts, Celebration made in 2017...
...and Scrappy Stars made in 2015.
The size of this log cabin quilt will be determined by the number of blocks I can make from my stash pull. I have two other stash projects in mind, one to use my pale florals and another using Christmas prints. And I'm planning another quilt in my Fig Tree Harvest series, to use the leftovers from my previous quilts. I'd like to make a Jack's Chain quilt (examples on my Pinterest board) and am looking for directions for this block or a pattern. Please let me know if you are aware of one.

ReplyDeleteI love all your scrap quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love how you were able to use the same fabric in different ways. I'm also a kid in a candy store!
ReplyDeleteGood for you trying to reduce the stash even a few strips at a time. I'm tempted all the time as well. There's so many wonderful colors and designs to play with and never enough hours.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog so much and I agree about the amount of stash I manage to accumulate vs. time to use it all. Such a dilemna, but your willpower is motivating me to do likewise. I do want to tell you that there is a Jack's Chain pattern and template set from Under the Garden Moon patterns by Amy McClellan . Her pattern is called Cobblestones. I have taken classes from Amy at quilt retreats and I can tell you her patterns are very well written and organized. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThose logs are great and can't wait to see them in a setting...love your color choices. I agree that our stash is something to deal with and sounds like you have a great plan to reduce yours some. I also separate my FigTree fabrics as I do try to use in some other projects and just love them.
ReplyDeleteLove your log cabin blocks! I thought I recognized the name of that quilt design and when I searched my files, I found this one:

Although I'm a big fan of Debbie Kratovil so will also be checking out the link Caro provided too!
Oooh, I love those colors together! I so admire your restraint and resolve to whittle down your stash. I SO need to work on that -- if I could just decide on WHAT to do -- there are too many option out there and I have analysis paralysis.
