Great Log Cabin, Gemm
The wonderful thing about fabric is it has so many uses that are just perfect... so yeah, that would have gone great in this past Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt you show that it didn't have to be used that way at all!
While I rarely make multiples of the same quilt, I just love me some Log Cabins...
With my current vision problems I haven't done much sewing. I did get the Tropical Eclipse: Eye Protection Required (which I consider a log cabin variation) blocks put mostly together, still need to add the borders which are cut. I'm making a tutorial of a calmer example blocks and since my sewing group is cancelled tomorrow, maybe that will be a good day to finish that.
I finished my project to make a good mattress pad for my water bed by putting together two pads. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, had to zig zag down the edges I was cutting and piece together a part for the length, and deal with elastic and nylon sides and all sorts of issues. Why didn't I just buy one? Well water beds aren't just all that popular anymore and Amazon had exactly 2 options for me. One is basically a flat piece for the top and elastic straps -- I already know that doesn't work well for me and reading comments doesn't work well for most people. The other was I think $60-80 with $20 shipping. Other sites all started around $100 (plus shipping). I had one that was perfect length but too narrow and I had another that was too short that could be sacrificed.
