Would you like to join me? Now is a good time -- well, for me anyway! 8-)))
I'm using squares and strips at 1.5 inch cut. If you want to sew along with me, get your strips out (hopefully you have some scrap strips pre-cut!). I'm starting with a dull red in the center, then adding my lights next. My darks are in the green, sage, purple, blue combinations. There are 5 rounds of lights and darks. Assuming you use even amount of lights and darks, starting with the lights means you will end up with more DARK on the outside of the block. Of course, we cut them/trim them before they are sewn back together, (rebuilding), that will demonstrate a defininite zig zag look in each intersection. Confused? 8-))
You'll see when I actually MAKE the quilt and then post the photos here. I'm planning 6 x 8 blocks (48) and if I remember correctly, they trim to about 10.5 inches, then I will add borders of some kind.
Yeahhhh - my bags are packed, I'm ready to go ...
Looks like a fun quilt, but I would be lucky just to get a log cabin made, let alone rebuilt!
ReplyDeleteI'll enjoy this from the sidelines. Christmas projects already have me overwhelmed.
can't resist, as you know. So count me in
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend hope it doesn't snow.
Very cool... too many irons in the fire right now but I'm definitely following along!
ReplyDeleteThis is something new for me, and I'll be following along, not sure if I can get one made now. Will see

ReplyDeleteYour comment arrived as a No-Reply. Not sure if I NEED your e-mail - hopefully instructions will be clear.
What a gorgeous quilt! But even way out in the middle of the Nebraska panhandle, you still need to be aware of this:It is not only the month for Halloween, but breast cancer awareness month!!! Treat yourself or a loved one because you care! I am just stopping by with a reminder to do your self breast exam.

ReplyDeleteOh I do remember this quilt as being a beauty... But 1.5 inch strips! That will take me all weekend to just cut them!

I'm also guilty of coming in for a quick peek at your RLC blocks without leaving a comment...my apologies. If I can find time I'd love to try to make some Rebuilt Log Cabin blocks with you all and will try to get sorting and cutting scraps today.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful time, Retreats are always big FUN. Can't wait to see your new Log Cabin project.
ReplyDeletegreetings Brigitte

ReplyDeleteAdore this quilt. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I love all log cabins and was ready to make another with the dregs of my scrappy 1.5 inch strips. Now I will make a Rebuilt!
