so........

i just couldn't help it. i saw these pinks and greens and couldn't help starting a new project. why? who knows. :) i haven't done a log cabin in a LONG time and i just LOVE this look and the colors.
i am also working on my 9 patch. i found more scraps of my fabric and so i think i'm going to be able to make it bigger than i thought. i really don't like messing with sashing so i'm boxing them in as i go. origanally i wasn't going to use sashing but i didn't want to match up all those seams so i reconsidered! :) hope you had a great holiday weekend. have a great day!

  1. On your 9-Patch . . . great way to get sashing without . . . well, doing sashing! So simple, but so smart. (I like the colors of your 9-Patch, too.)

  10. Sashing is the way to go. I haven't done many quilts but I have played around enough to know that matching up seams is for the birds.

  13. hey heather,
    it's me, your sister's sister in law, lucy
    well, melissa told me you had a quilting blog and since i LOVVVE to look at quilting blogs of course i had to come visit! WOW.
    your quilts are lovely and your blog is going to be bookmarked and looked at by me regularly!

    i looked at older posts and though it was cool that you'd been doing the 9patch quiltalong too. i was trying to but haven't got so far. mainly due to power cuts, sick children, and general lack of time having a 2yr old and 1 yr old....(i took my sewing machine over to sudan in suitcase)
    we are in the US for 2 weeks - sorry we don't get to see you this time - but i will keep checking out your blog.
    i am going to go shopping at walmart and joann fabrics this next week - YAY.
    can't get cotton fabric in sudan and anything else there is horribly overpriced (at least compared to walmart!
    anyways - very impressed with your quilts and blog,
    lots of love from lucy
    ps we're all well - enjoying our holiday very much
