Little House Sew-along Block 4

Just popping in with a quick post to share my next block for the Little House Sew-along, hosted by Melva at Melva Loves Scraps.  This is the Shoofly block.  I decided to make this one with the turquoise plaid fabric that Melva sent me as a prize for a previous block.  I like how it turned out!


Next step was to add the surrounding log cabin strips - I'm getting more efficient with this now that I've sewn four of them!


And here are the four.


Thank you, Melva, for a fun sew-along!

Those blocks are really pretty.

Your blocks are coordinating nicely. I've had to switch out a couple of strips that broke up the Log Cabin light/dark pattern... I'm learning as we go :-)

Another pretty block. Love those fabrics and the blocks are looking good together.

That's a pretty block, I love the plaid! It does go quite nicely with your color scheme. I have to have the log cabin pattern right in front of my face every time I do it - lol!

I always like the shoo fly block and I like how you are using a pieced block as the center for the log cabins.

It's hard to use plaids, it works well in the shoo fly block. You've got a start on a beautiful quilt. The colors are such fun.

This is coming together beautifully, Diann! :)

Oh my, your Shoo Fly block is so cute, Diann. I love the blue plaid. Your blocks are so cheerful; they warm my heart. Hugs
