Carolaug,
Could you please tell me what your technique is for matching all those corners? That would be so hard for me to do. I could use some good advice! Thanks! |
@Carol45: it been pretty easy believe it or not. I sew a row of 30 squares, then I just pin the seams. I did do one with out pinning but it did not line up as nice. Oh and if any one is looking for a cabin die...I went to Joanns, blame my son who wants flannel that looks like mens shirts...yup I bought 2 1/2 yards for the backing of his Coast Guard quilt. While there today I noticed all Go dies on sale for 40 percent off...and they had a log cabin die...I just could not resist...bought it. I figure I will be able to use it for more of my scrap busting. LOL I did do another row last night after work and will put together another one tonight, One row each night is really fast and otherwise I would just be watching t.v.

A wonderful way to use up some scraps. Lord knows, we all have lots of them. It's going to be a great quilt!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]427249[/ATTACH]as it grows...the scrap pile is growing...as I dig through closets looking for different fabric pieces. I found that the browns found there place next to each other...aurgh...that is what happens when just sewing with not really paying attention to what you are sewing. I think once done I may add a few appliques in those areas to break up the same color being next to each other.

Can't wait to see the finished product....great job......

Instead of sewing in long rows, have you considered sewing 4 patches, then sewing the "blocks" together? That's what I do when I sew small pieces together. I feel like I'm making headway faster. LOL.
I love your colors! |
Your scrappy is coming along great! :) I need to get busy with my squares.................
