I need a great project to work on thru the long cold winter.
I'm not making a quilt for a while; I want to make several small projects first--maybe 6 doll quilts, 2-3 baby quilts, a few wall hangings, maybe a table topper for me. Then I'll think on another quilt. ;)
I prepared a LOT of original block starts this afternoon.. and have 50 of the redesign started. That ought to keep me busy and out of trouble. ;) But I must start my Bargello... so the log cabins blocks is an on-going project. I wanted to get a good start on many before I leave it for a few days.
The tricky part is to try to make the florals darker as you work out...and the lights, but not so much. No dark lights go in the center few strips with me. The lights and lighter florals are the hardest to find. I just used the last strip of several of my lightest florals...and I have no more left. My, my, I'll need to shop. What a bummer! :-D :-D

Karla,
I pressed a few blocks and have some laid out on my cutting table but I can't find my camera. I hope I didn't leave it at my folks house. We just got home yesterday from being there for Christmas. I will look some more in a little bit but I don't know where it is!!!

These are beyond beautiful. I have never seen the florals like these used in the log cabin. This is absolutely beautiful! Love especially the full sold quilt. Can't quite envision the newer design. Sometimes I do have hard time seeing the completed project in my mind. Whatever you choose will be stunning!
