Quilt

I'm back. I took a few days off to recharge my thinking processes, do some walking and finish some quilt blocks. Originally the thought process was to complete about 16 blocks, lay them out and see how things looked. That happened on Monday. It seemed like the quilt needed more blocks so I added 4 more to make the total 20. Once that was done then some time tonight was spent laying them in different patterns to see how they looked.

The pattern is called log cabin. Here are all 20 blocks laid out in the same orientation. Not especially interesting. If you are wondering about the fabric some of it is from old bandanas of mine.

I found this pattern more interesting but the blue blocks seem to overwhelm the red.

This one looked pretty good with the blue blocks running down the center and half blocks on the upper and lower edges. Carol came in at my request to review and offer suggestions She suggested turning the upper left and lower left blocks so the blue was on all four corners.

The change was made in this picture and the quilt pattern was Lily Lu approved. She likes sleeping on the bed and thought since we were in the bedroom it was time to go to bed for the night.

As far as this quilt project goes now the blocks need to be sewed together, backing material selected, and the quilting done and binding put around the edges. Hopefully finished in the next week or so.

  1. Nice to have you back. Silences from Bodine-DILLIGAF are annoying. The quilt looks pretty sharp and if Lily Lu approves, then who am I to contest her judgment. I have always favored those endeavors whereby one creates something from nothing. Those are the things we tend to cherish. Looks good, Jeffrey. You sure have a great teacher.
