working--gleefully--on the back to that Triple Irish Chain
 
3 Attachment(s)
So, I'm joyfully working on the back to that Triple Irish Chain I made (I measured it--90 by 110 eek) and in playing made some Log Cabin blocks. But I think they are too nice to go on the back of a quilt--so now I think I need to make a bunch more so they have a top to call their own. There should be enough fabric for a lap anyway. I've made four tops from this line already--might as well go for five. :-)

It is so much fun just tossing fabric together with no pattern. :rolleyes:

LOVE!!! The LC are fabulous! What a versatile line! Curses that I didn't pick some up when you got it. ;) I adore the back too with the leftover TIC block framed in the blues. It looks like a checkerboard.

Thank you, my friend (who <whom?> I miss!). I think it's a raft on a lake--it's a crystal clear, not a breath day about 88*. lol

I love the one on the lower left--floral from the TIC I made for a friend--looks like it's raining out.

You know--I got most of it online. But not sure you could find much now.

It looks like you are having fun with the log cabin blocks. The fabric is bright and cheerful.

Merrylin 02-28-2016 05:27 PM

Beautiful! Your color choice make those blocks amazing.

QM 02-28-2016 05:38 PM

Those are lovely blocks.

Jingle 02-28-2016 05:45 PM

Very pretty.

JuneBillie 02-28-2016 08:56 PM

very pretty, and I adore your fabric.

your new back for the front will be amazing -- that last picture is the start of something -- WOW!

Monale 02-28-2016 11:29 PM

Lovely fabric! You could still put them on the back and make a reversible quilt that way

DOTTYMO 02-28-2016 11:46 PM

Love the bottom picture such an unusual design.

OhCanada 02-29-2016 01:03 AM

That back is going to be amazing

I love reversible quilts. and less sandwiching and quilting. 2 in 1 loll

I love your log cabin block material!

jmoore 02-29-2016 05:19 AM

All of your blocks and projects are beautiful... your fabrics are scrumptious and I think anything would look good made up in that fabric collection.

Quiltngolfer 02-29-2016 07:40 AM

It certainly is beautiful fabric, and your quilts are all wonderful!

QuiltnNan 02-29-2016 07:54 AM

looks great

tessagin 02-29-2016 08:13 AM

I was thinking same. 2 in 1!

I agree with everyone else, make a double sided quilt. I'm currently working on one and it is so much fun. It also means one less quilt to store when you want something different on your bed (or at least for me as I don't have much storage space)

Painiacs 02-29-2016 09:42 AM

Looks like you were having soooo much fuń

lynnie 02-29-2016 09:46 AM

LOVE!!! that leafy fabric. so bright and pretty

kaylfordsollimo 02-29-2016 12:18 PM

I agree. Your "unplanned" log cabins are going to present a boatload of design possibilities. Such fun.

MargeD 02-29-2016 12:28 PM

Beautiful, can't wait to see the finished quilt. Your log cabin blocks are lovely, I might be tempted to let them be their own quilt.

barnbum 02-29-2016 04:36 PM

Love the comments. Thanks! I am adding another round to the log cabins... I only have 3/4 yard left of the light. Wondering just how many blocks I can make. Sure wouldn't be able to use it as a border, but I can work out something. :-) After chores--teaching--chores--work out--chores--dinner--dishes--horse tuck in--shower... I run out of time!! I don't trust myself using a rotary blade after 8:30. Sigh.

Nice log cabin blocks.

Very pretty quilt!

I agree. Beautiful!

Looks like a beautiful line. You have been very busy. Good job.

QUILTNMO 03-03-2016 03:10 AM

very pretty!!!!

quilterpurpledog 03-03-2016 05:01 AM

Those beautiful fabrics are certainly beautiful in the Log Cabin block-so fresh and crisp. I think it deserves a spotlight of its own. I like decorative backs but this is too beautiful to be a back.

heather1949 03-05-2016 05:51 PM

Wow it pops :)

ChrisDee 03-05-2016 06:21 PM

I agree with you. I think they're much to pretty to use as the back of a quilt. I would make them into a separate quilt. And I love your fabric choices are they random or are they part of a group?

Part of a group except for the batik rust color. P&B Silvia's Sonnet. Wish I could find just a little more of a few. I now love the hst blocks I've made and don't want them on the back either. LOL

mjhaess 03-08-2016 06:09 AM

That will be great for a back...

kwiltkrazy 10-09-2016 12:01 PM
