Last weekend, I had the pleasure of taking a Zoom class with Seattle MQG. As with so many of you, it's been a year now that we've been able to meet in person, though our monthly virtual meetings are still a highlight. Anyway, the class was "Traditional Variations" with Cheryl Arkison.
There were several traditional blocks we could work with, and I chose the classic and familiar log cabin. Maybe I could have challenged myself more, but familiar felt good in the moment.
For fabric, scraps also felt good and comfy, and I selected various green and purple strips, along with pulling my low-volume bin close to grab from as I sewed.
The whole point was to play with variations Cheryl suggested - exercises in size, shape, minimalism, etc. etc. I made several blocks in class, and have continued on - at least until the scraps run out. We'll see.
Nice, I am drawn to bright colors myself!
ReplyDeleteI like the variation you are exploring with one block, and will be curious to see if it informs future work for you, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt on the right above. Is there a quick way to construct this type of triangle block?
ReplyDeleteCarol, I don't have your email, so hopefully you see this. YES. You can definitely do something similar with a triangle block!!
Deletelove your log cabin blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove these log cabin blocks—and especially like the red dot you added in one! So fun.

ReplyDeleteYour blocks make me so happy. You are so talented and creative.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are absolutely gorgeous Debbie. I do love a good log cabin block. You made me want to run to my sewing room and take out my scrap bins for some log cabin fun!!
