The last few days I've been focused on making Block #8 for the Little House SAL at Melva Loves Scraps. It starts with a patchwork heart block. It's a miniature version of the 12 inch heart block that we made for the Pieces of My Life quilt, which is one of my favorite blocks ever!
I had a harder time making the 6 inch version of the block - not because the strips were tinier, but because I had a hard time choosing fabrics that would work for the design. I made it twice, in fact, and scrapped both of them in favor of a simpler version like this:
Once that was taken care of, the log cabin strips were added and here is the finished block.
Only one more block to make!
With all the strip cutting for the log cabins, I'm ending up with leftover chunks of the jelly roll to use up, so I decided to make a few tiny four patches out of them. They made good leader/enders for the strip piecing, too.
