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

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

Thanks for your compliments!

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!
