It's 17 degrees outside - windchill makes it feel like 4! Yikes! I went out this morning with everything wrapped up but my eyeballs - and then I thought, dear Lord! My eyes are FREEZING! LOL! What's a girl to do? Start the laundry and sit down and sew!
My log cabin blocks are coming along nicely . . .

So now it's time to start my sashing, which will be white/white strips and red/red strips with blue points and blue intersection blocks that will look like this . . .
this will yield a star pattern making the layout look like this . . .
I hope to be done the sashing this week, so maybe actually start quilting this one by end of the month :)
I'm also playing with my dresden blocks that I'm doing for the Dare 2 Dresden Challenge over on Sew We Quilt. I've never tried them before so this will be a first. I've chosen a 9" block, and prepared my templates.
My blog will be on the hop on January 30th - so be sure to stop back and see what I've worked out ;)
It's definitely crock pot weather - so I've got to get my chili cooking. Is it cold where you are? How you keepin' warm?
I love log cabin..
ReplyDeleteYour Reds above are GORGEOUS!!! Can't wait to see that all together. ALSO thank you so much for the Promo Post.. I can't wait to see your Dresden. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI like your reds, I'm a red-loving girl from childhood. One day at guild meeting one of my friends pointed out that I had some red in every one of my quilts - I hadn't noticed til she pointed it out! I look forward to seeing you dresden on the hop - thanks for sharing!
