Judi Martin Log Cabin variation pattern
Since i have 2 weeks off for winter break, I wanted to finally tackle a quilt for me. I have this extra green fabric from a project that didn't get used, and this is the project i decided to tackle. I have sorely underestimated the time to finish this....I have finished 5 blocks. Each block has about 75 pieces in it. This is a variation of a log cabin quilt and the finished logs are 1 inch wide.
It will be handquilted and i have no idea how - but it's pretty, and definitely the most involved pattern i've ever made - I also didn't realize how hard it is to sew a precisely straight line! LOL!!
I am getting the hang of that!

I absolutely adore this pattern from Judy Martin's book and I like your green presentation. Quick quilts are great for sure, but, we grow through the challenges. I would like to do this quilt but I recognize that it is very time intensive-I have started! I have sorted scraps into bags by color. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Yesterday I was looking at one of her book, thinking I would try one of her patterns. I bet, as you say " the most involved pattern i've ever made - I also didn't realize how hard it is to sew a precisely straight line! LOL!"
I am also amazed how beautiful your blocks are, specially because I usually do not like the color "green" but I love what you did, color included!
