log cabin blocks
 
1 Attachment(s)
This was my weekend UFO to do something with. I had made the blocks awhile back and realized that some were not right, so in the drawer it went. got it out this weekend and thought I might just scrap it but after playing around I put these together and these are the messed up blocks. Thinking i might add a scallop border to it and just enjoy the beautiful colors.

very clever way to straighten the blocks, it forms it's own design

Love the colors, they work well together. It's your quilt, and you can do whatever you want with it. I see no mess, but a very nice log cabin. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent idea! and beautiful colors

Don't you just love log cabins, one of my favorites and you created something beautiful from your wonky blocks. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done and another UFO completed.

Very pretty, glad you are getting it done, cant be enjoyed much in a box and in peices. Well done.

Glad you didn't toss the blocks! It looks lovely and a scallop border will be a great finishing touch.

I don't see anything wrong with the blocks. They look beautiful to me, such pretty colors and looks well planned. I'm wanting to piece a log cabin soon but need to finish some UFO's that got pushed aside.

'messed up' at all! very nice- good that you finished it up---i need to get in my room & finish up another UFO this month too---my stack will never shrink if i don't get to them ;)

That is one gorgeous "messed up" quilt!

Very pretty colors. Great looking quilt.

So what is there not to like. I think they look lovely and a scalloped border will look so nice.

It is very pretty - and by the way, the blocks are not messed up - it is your own design element!!

Peggy Jeanne 02-14-2012 04:26 PM

You did a great job, log cabin quilts are one of my favorites!

BrendaK 02-14-2012 04:34 PM

Looks good to me. BrendaK

Sometimes we go by the book and forget about our own talents. I love it. Real artists do not play by the rules.

so-sew 02-15-2012 03:43 AM

Definitely finish it. I've heard the Amish intentionally make quilts imperfect to remind them that only God is perfect.

Amen to this! Great job!

barbo117 02-15-2012 05:48 AM

It's beautiful, I love it and a scallop border will be perfect! If you still want to scrap it I can PM you my address, I will even pay the shipping!!!!! LOL

MarthaT 02-15-2012 06:03 AM

Took me a bit to see the "mess up". Good job and who will ever know if you don't tell them.

orangeroom 02-15-2012 06:05 AM

Isn't it always nice when you finish something that you've had on the back burner for a while? Congratulations!
