Quarter Log Cabin in Blue . Friend Linda "cleaned up her sewing space before company arrived" and donated a LOT of lovely blue fabrics to the FREE TABLE at our local All Day Sew. I snatched it up and 2 months later it turned into this! Thank you Linda. I added the background blue-gray . Note the unexpected lavendar strips! This is the 3rd or 4th Quarter Log Cabin I've made. Size is approx. 70 x 82. I added a faux flange binding.
The back. I am practicing with rulers.
Plaid Pleasures was made from real left-over fabric from real shirts I've made over many years. NO SHIRTS were cut up. The unexpected "spools" was a nice surprise.
Hopefully I will post more frequently. This last summer was totally lost due to having an old body inside an active mind! Get your mammograms - the advances in medical technology makes some "repairs" almost simple altho time-consuming.
Hello, Elaine. Two finishes! WOW! They are both lovely. You did an excellent job with the rulers. Bravo! Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThanks for not giving up on me - long time too busy to post anything! 8-(((
DeleteBoth quilts are really lovely! You make scrap quilts look totally planned. They are very calm.
ReplyDeleteI am always happy to see a post from you, Elaine. The purple and blue QLC is really lovely. I agree with Vicki that you make scrap quilts look like a well thought out design.
ReplyDeleteLoving that plaid quilt, too. No shirts were harmed? You must have made a lot of plaid shirts over the years to have all those scraps. And I say if the quilt isn't stiff, it wasn't too much quilting--and a couple of washings help soften things up. It looks really good to me.
