Rainbow Log Cabins

I've added a few more rainbow log cabin blocks to my collection this month.  I decided to work on a pink one and a purple one as leaders and enders while working on other projects.


I'm using strings out of my scrap bins to create these blocks.  They finish at 12 inches.


Starting with a 2 1/2 inch square gives me the chance to do some fun fussy cutting!


The rainbow is forming!


I started on a black and white block and a turquoise one, too.  Orange is next on my list along with brown.


After that, hmmm?  Maybe I'll repeat some colors, or make some rainbow blocks with all of the colors in them.  I'm letting this quilt evolve slowly!

Your log cabin blocks look great. Maybe I should make some using my scrappy strings.

Your rainbow logs are an excellent idea - especially with those fussy cut centers.

This is the beginning of a very interesting quilt. Love what I see and I wonder how you will set the blocks. Have to come back to see this one grow. Most interesting! ;^)
