I just love to see other people's work. It is just so inspiring. Another thing I love about it is seeing how many of the fabrics shown I recognize from my stash. The log cabin looks great with the white frame around it. I like that idea, also the notion that the "requisite" red is not REALLY required and we can still call it a log cabin block. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-41993-1.htm Yes, the fact that the requisite red is missing, gives it an interesting look. I personally love the "large hearth" of the 2.5" ctr. rather than the typical little red square. The most fun is just using what I have on hand, slicing the end off and adding another piece without being careful the logs are all the same! I just love this quick way of assembling a log cabin style block. I'm getting ready to do another Pinwheel but this time I won't paper piece it like I did with this one, but I will use the "lay it on top of each other" method to do the half-split half-square triangles. Let me know if you need this method. Will be glad to show you how it's done. It will make piecing a Pinwheel Quilt a piece of cake. And yes, the value placement is so much fun with this block! Thank you soooo very much, gingerella, and I look forward to seeing your Pinwheel quilts one day! I hope you are inspired after seeing my little minis! ;-) :thumbup: ;-) |

I love that pinwheel! I may try that for my next one. I think I have enough leftovers to make a coordinated scrappy pinwheel. Your 2nd one is very interesting to me. I like how you framed each piece in white and then one more go-round. I'm beginning to think scrappies are my favorites. Yours are beautiful!Good job- thanks for posting. :thumbup:
