Log cabins and string blocks are my favorites. 'I can't afford to buy a lot of fabrics, so I save even the smallest scraps. They end up in log cabin and string blocks. Fortunately my friends and relatives aren't sick of string quilts and log cabin pot holders, bags and table cloths yet. I usually make 4-6 blocks at a time, to pass time. I should start assembling a string quilt for my grand daughter as I have enough blocks to cover a foot ball field but it's late evening. Maybe I'll just piece a couple more and go to bed.
