Thread: Starting the seahorse log cabin

I posted this recently as an EQ design and thought I'd share my progress. I went with the first option of seahorses with fish as a secondary pattern and wanted to make it as a wall hanging rather than a full size quilt so decided on 6" blocks. It will be 48" x 36" without borders - I haven't decided on borders yet, will piece the middle first! Anyway, I just cut all my strips at 1 1/4" wide and 1" wide unfinished and laid them out in cutlery trays ready to go! I'm piecing the normal way rather than PP - good practice for those accurate scant 1/4" seams!

The fabrics plus not shown a bit of black for the eyes

Strips cut and ready to piece!

Can't wait to see finished quilt! Beautiful fabrics.

You are so talented.

That is so awesome

Can't wait to see when it's finished. Love how to use the silver ware tray to store your pieces.

I just read Judy Martin's book about log cabins and using trays to hold the strips. Looks like a good idea.

Thos fabrics aree really nice and the way you have them sorted is nice.

LOL! You're at an organizational level I can only dream about!

I love the pattern.

what a great way to organize pieces for this quilt. i can't wait to see finished. great fabric selection. :-)
