That's just what I thought.

Very Nice!

Very nice, and flowers are always a hit. Is there a pattern for these? Trying to think what size blocks were used.
Very pretty.

I hope so, esp. for craft shows--something unique. I'm thinking others,maybe even some quilters, won't want to bother with buying so many florals to work with for the effect. :wink:

Hi horseowner!! I'm one too! :D Log cabin patterns are everywhere, so that's nothing new. I did tweak a pattern so it was more to my liking, but I think they'll all look the nice once done. The floral idea--watercolor and scrappy--is more mine, but that's not a marketable item, more a gut feeling. :wink: I hate to write in a pattern "Go buy 60-70 different florals of various colors--1/4 yard each AND 15 different light greens with leaves, maybe a light yellow--1/4 yard of each." :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very pretty.

The blocks are 6.5" before sewn together. Any log cabin pattern will do--if you want curves, just make the light side more narrow. I like the pattern I came up with because I can stop adding strips when I'm at the size I want--and it looks good. But--any pattern will do. ;)

Nolee 05-03-2011 07:21 AM

What a gorgeous job, Karla. I would never have put the blues and oranges together but when I saw your first floral log cabin, I just couldn't resist. I'm going to make one into a table runner now. Thank you for such inspiration. Those are beautiful.

labug 05-03-2011 07:27 AM

Very pretty

pal 05-03-2011 07:38 AM

Beautiful job, Barnbum. To me, they say "Home".

Homemother 05-03-2011 07:53 AM

Karla - I remember your original table runner - these are pretty too! :thumbup: It seems like it takes a while to find nice florals because so many floral pattern are in the retro style. I'm collecting but not finding a lot of what I like - those sweet Victorian florals in pinks and blues. (Maybe I'm not looking at the right place or wanting to pay more for them!)

grandme26 05-03-2011 07:59 AM

Beautiful tableware. Would love to make something simular.

suzette1954 05-03-2011 08:17 AM

I love them both!!

baglady65 05-03-2011 08:29 AM

A freind of mine made a big quilt like that and I wanted it from her!! Always want to make one, a table runner would work too what size are your blocks and logs?
