Hi everyone!

It's been a few weeks since I last shown you the start of this, so far I have done about half the blocks, then last night came up with this Baltimore design for the centre, I found a quilt in a magazine, and tweaked the design (why can't I seem to follow a pattern) ;-)

Sorry bout the pictures, it was late last night and I just threw them on the bedroom floor to get an idea LOL

I still have to stitch around the applique!

oh SO PRETTY!!!!!

very nice...thats why you dont follow patterns.

And here was me thinking it's cos I hate to conform LOL!

Thanks for your lovely comments!

beautiful, good luck finishing up, I can't follow a pattern either.

Hi Izy, this is looking good - those colours are really kind of Deco. I like it a LOT. :-D

I love it!

so pretty! The applique adds that special touch!

Beautiful quilt. Love the design of the applique.

Hey K3n, nice to hear from you! Jan chose the colours and she was born in the 30's so deco is very fitting! I am not keen on these colours but it's growing on me with the applique! Just noseying at your OBW sew along, looking great!

Ta mate! Wasn't it funny so many of us having the same fabric? :-D

Oh that center if perfect. I really like this :) WTG

That is beautiful! Love your center--and colors. The pattern around the center is perfect!

I love log cabins and have tweaked a few too...so I was studying yours... it is rectangular? And the two centers are both darks?? I've never seen that! Neat! Wait--I see one that's a light and a dark? I can't wait to see this one finished!! :-D

Unbelievable! Will try and pop in often to keep an eye on everyone's progress, fascinating!!

Great job!!!

Barnbum, YOUR floral uneven was my inspiration!! The blocks are 8.5" square unfinished, I think it is just the angle of the camera...BUT now you can have a play with rectangles to see how they turn out and show me!!

Thanks for your compliments!

Wow that applique certainly makes the quilt jaw dropping gorgeous, well done :thumbup:

Wow!! It is stunning. I really like your colors.

Beautiful! What a great idea!

Thanks! A lot of the fabrics are scraps, but Terri sent over a lot of the greens/browns to help out, didn't she do well. I try NOT to coordinate while selecting a fabric each section of the block, just choosing randomly from the pile of strips I cut!!

Here's the first block and the pile of strips I just hack off a bit for each section as I go!

Love the Baltimore centre - its a great focal point for a beautiful log cabin.

WOW! That is very pretty. And ooooh those colors!

That is going to be beautiful. Don't worry about following a pattern. Creating your own is what makes this rewarding! Great job.

Just possitively beautiful. The colors and the pattern is just
great. I envy you to be able to put colors together like that.

Beautiful!

Thanks Tcharlies...all the quilts I have made have been my own ideas, never used a pattern yet!! I get inspiration on here and from magazines, but even WHEN I could follow the patterns I somehow always ended up doing it different, DH says I am just plain awkward LOL!!

Love it with the applique in the middle! It is going to be stunning when you're finished!

Flo, there are a few in here that were 'screaming' at me NOT to be included and I did take a few out, mainly because there wasn't enough contrast between light and dark. I was visualising autumn leaves and all the beautiful colours you get from nature when choosing my selection, plus the brighter ones add that much needed zing!! Sometimes you just have to go with it, especially on a scrappy like this one, thanks for your compliments!

:-)

Oh My - that is simply beautiful. The applique center is perfect.

love the colors our design is great,well done..

All I can say is WOW :-)

I love this! I've always shyed away from the log cabin due to the possibility of uneven seam matches. Yours is going to be stunning.

OH MY - that is so beautiful!

Gorgeous! :)

GORGEOUS!!!!

I love the center, love the quilt. It is a really nice design, and such pretty colors !

It's a good tweak love it

Beautiful.

really pretty!

Beautiful quilt!
