Paired Blocks #29

Snail's Trail

Log Cabin



I had fun playing with these two blocks in my last post; so I thought I'd play some more.

Paired Blocks # 28

Snail's Trail

Log Cabin

Snail's Trail and Log Cabin are two blocks that are made in a similar way. You start at the center and work your way out.
I wondered, what if these two blocks were paired up? So I set out to find out.

Log Cabin

Modern Log Cabins

You may have noticed that I like to change old blocks to make new ones. Today I'm going to experiment with a Log Cabin block.

Quilting


Log Cabin Placemat

Three days ago (17 November 2010) I was playing with Log Cabin placemats and made this with the intention that it would be completed by the quilting.

I want to make a placemat using Log Cabin blocks.

What if, instead of square, I make my blocks rectangular and use 3 of them to make a placemat?

Quilting

Log Cabin Medallion block

You can find this Log Cabin Medallion quilt in my 26 October 2010 post.

I need to work out some way of quilting it.

Medallion Quilt

Log Cabin

Yesterday I was playing with this Hexagonal Log Cabin block.  Today I want to use it to make the center of a Medallion quilt.

What if I arrange 6 Hexagonal Log Cabin blocks like this?

I have the center for my Medallion quilt.

Colors

Hexagonal Log Cabin

In my 15 October 2010 post I came up with this Hexagonal Log cabin block and block design.

I want to play with the color and with the design.

What if I play with this Hexagonal Log Cabin block? Can I come up with any interesting design elements?

What should I do for borders?

Log Cabin

This Log Cabin quilt top comes to us courtesy of my 24 June 2010 post.

I think it needs borders. What if I make them using Log Cabin Blocks as well?

Colors

Yesterday I decided I liked this setting for this Log Cabin block.

What if I change the colors in the block?

The Log Cabin block on the left comes from my 2 June 2010 post. I've changed the colors slightly to create the one on the right. I want to try this new and livelier version in various settings and see what turns up.

Playing with Colors

Log Cabin

The other day (28 May 2010)  I had fun turning Log Cabin blocks into spirals. I want to try it again today.

Playing With Colors

Log Cabin

The last time (28 May 2010) I changed the colors in a Log Cabin block I played with spirals. Today I want to play with squares.

Playing with Colors

Log Cabin

I want to color a Log Cabin block so that it doesn't look like a Log Cabin block.

When you sew a Log Cabin block you sart in the center and spiral out. What if I try making Log Cabin spirals?

Log Cabin Block

Log Cabin blocks are often assembled to form diamonds.

I've already designed some quilting for Log Cabin blocks.  What if I arrange those blocks so that they form diamonds?
