Log cabin is my favorite; next is stack n whack. I made one in vintage fabric, one in bright colors. Now i am making a log cabin in primary colors. It is a strip piece; so a little different. I started an applique for a sewing machine cover. First attempt was TERRIBLE..i put that in my 1.5 scrap bag and started another. It is a dogwood wreath. I am doing it right..reading the instructions, basting the pieces. I want it to be nice. Sewing is so relaxing exept for the times I have to get up and walk away from it. :)
