Hi J.
So glad for your good news. You always come through! I have been down for a long winter nap. I really don't like winter.

I snuggled down in the studio and have dumped all my scraps on the tables, mountains of light and dark scraps. I figure if I see them I have to do something with them. So, There are now two log cabins in the work at the same time. One is very traditional, red center and 1.5 strips, two light and two dark going around 4 times and is 11.5" sq.

The second one is in a clam shell pattern using all the bits from the bigger pattern. This one is more complicated and uses both 1.5" strips and 1" strips to create a curve. Four 6.5" units to a block that is 12.5".

The plan is to alternate making a traditional and clam shell block so as much gets used up as possible on the first go round. These will be big quilts. Will decide what to do with the remains after these two are done. Busy, busy, busy!
peace
