LOL.
I couldn’t resist!
Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color is going to run a “stitch along” starting January 1st featuring her scrappy log cabin pattern.
I’m in love with this quilt–which is the first version Rachel did. She is now working on a new one, featuring each of the 4 combined blocks made with two colors that she loves together. So, more scrappy color as these two colors will change as she goes along.
Here’s a picture of one of the big blocks she’s made for the new quilt–featuring lime and beet as her two colors for this one block:
I LOVE the border she has crafted for this quilt. Look at how clever the corners are.
What color should I use for the chimney block??? Rachel’s choice of a warm gold/brown certainly works. I’m wondering about Kona pickle. Or Kona Curry. I’ll have to think about this unit as it is crucial to success. And note she makes this chimney unit in different sizes. Note the different sizes of the strips too. I’ve been playing with this kind of wonky log cabin in my current night hand sewing. It all works just fine. The trick is to square off each of these blocks above so they are uniform.
Can I say: I HAVE SCRAPS all cut into strips. Lots and lots of them!!!
I’m really enjoying Rachel’s blog. She is immensely creative, and I love her quilts.
Anyone want to join in?
