Love your tiny log cabin and the one in the frame is really nice. It would never have occurred to me.


After you did your 1/4" seams, you'd have no fabric showing.

It is so precious. I love the colors

I'm in awe... How am I ever going to get to try all the wonderful projects I see here on the board??? sigh... maybe some day...

These are fabulous!!

Thanks again. So folks go back to the log cabin. Can you find the two block placements that are messed up? I was sandwiching them to do a little HQ on and finally noticed it myself! Now I know this is going to the AAQI auction as it is under the 9 x 12 requirement. The title--"Have you noticed that Gram has been a little off?"

What a great way to display small blocks! Love the framed look!

what a great job, i would never of done any that small but im still a newbie

Very pretty and so small!!!

Oksewglad... I keep coming back to the images of your wonderful tiny quilts. I read again your notation that you did not paper piece, but used foundation. I'm so new at this, I'm not certain I know what that means? (I think I have an idea, but, well, I don't know...)
Could you give an explanation of how you did this? Thank you, in advance, for the time and effort...
I'm still just in awe of these quilts!!

And I thought I was being adventurous with a 1" PP log cabin I am getting ready to start! Beautiful little quilts! Great Work!

This tut shows how to use a foundation with strings of fabric using paper in this case old phone book pages.

This tut shows how to sew a design with paper foundation pattern. This is what I mean by PP--I personally don't care for this method. The patching is extremely accurate and very beautiful. It's the process I don't enjoy especially when in comes to tearing off the paper.

Here's another tut

This one uses batting

When I sewed on a "foundation" I used left over dryer sheets--well used so there's no softening agents remaining. This yields a lightweight fine spun fabric. I randoming sew fabrics to the foundation similar to the phone book method flipping and sewing the different shapes instead of the straight strings until I got the to the outer edges of my foundation. Next I cut the block to the size I wanted. Other fabrics to use as a foundation: old sheets, lightweight muslin, "ugly" fabrics, batting. The lightweight dryer sheets work well with the small seams I tend to use in these little squares.

I hope this helps. When wondering about something, the "Search" feature here on the board is often the first place I look. There is also a PP discussion in the topic lists.
