It's been nice to have a week to catch up on some quilting tasks. Earlier in the week I finished the top for my Lyra tablerunner, and it's now layered and ready to quilt.
Then I got busy working on block 9 for the Little House sew-along at Melva Loves Scraps and it's now finished, too! It started with a sweet center block that Melva calls Prairie Rose. Choosing the fabrics for this one, using my fall-themed prints, was more challenging than sewing it up. Of course this one looks like a sunflower rather than a rose!
Add the log cabin strips, and here it is.
Now all nine blocks are made, and we can start to play with layouts. I think the finishing instructions will be out next week.
I can already see a block or two ⬆️
that I'm going to have to rearrange.
I fussy cut a favorite bit of orange from the jelly roll for this block!
Having a leader/ender block is helpful when sewing these log cabins together, so I was able to finish a gameboard block along the way, too. It even uses scraps from the Little House project!
And there goes orange month! I'm wondering what our next color will be.
Linking up with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday
and at Melva Loves Scraps for the Little House sew-along, block 9.
Quilting is More Fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!
Love the lyra table runner. Little house is a really charming mini quilt! I like the colors you used! Very summery! Have a wonderful weekend Diann!
ReplyDeleteOh that's pretty Diann! I like the sunflower. I just fussy cut my center and modified Melva's pattern a little bit. I like your layout. I'm trying to decide whether or not to make mine bigger - I don't have a lot of use for that size quilt.
ReplyDeleteI spent some time perusing your blog last night for chain block layouts! I found some chain blocks in my closet yesterday and needed some ideas. ;)
What a fun quilt pattern. The blocks turned out great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blocks are the maple leaf and the teal block in the center.
ReplyDeleteI just love the colors in the Little House project. And you've reminded me that my Gameboard blocks have been neglected for a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of those fabrics, I recognize that Benartex line!
ReplyDeleteI just love your oranges and teals, Diann. Great progress.
ReplyDeleteYour little house blocks look great! I think I'm going to lay mine out again and check them before I sew them up. It is handy to have other things to sew in between adding the logs onto these. Looks like pastels for the month of June.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty fabrics in your little house project. Nice to get the orange blocks done by the end of the month. I see we are to use pastels in June. I don’t have very many of those in my stash…. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteLove the bit of fussy cutting you did for the block! Together is such a positive word!
ReplyDeletethe log cabin is really looking good. Nice fussy cutting also
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little quilt, Diann! Love the fabric and colors. Love the Gameboard blocks too, pretty in orange.
ReplyDeleteLooking good already. Orange and Turquoise is such a beautiful combination - summery and beachy!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt blocks! They look so good together. I love the fussy cut word too.
ReplyDeleteI just love the colors in the log cabin quilt. Can't wait to see the final layout.
ReplyDeleteYour sunflower block turned out beautifully. You picked such a fun color palette for that project. Looking forward to seeing your final layout for that project.
ReplyDeleteYour Little House blocks are so pretty. They sure put my non-matching ones to shame. I like your layout so arranged mine on the wall the same way.
