This is a plain, quarter log cabin with just one set of blocks. I've made it often enough to know there will be 51 blocks. I have someone in mind for this QOV. Several items you might notice ... 1) there is a small "design adjustment". You previously may have read about my "Sassy" photo. Yes, occasionally I am a little sassy, and want to do things my way ... just because. I won't admit if my "design adjustment" is on purpose or accidental. 2) .. that slight red/white strip next to the red squares is from my husband's shirt - yes a shirt I had made for him. I don't know who came up with the idea of using a departed love one's shirt in a quilt but for me, it was not an easy decision. Perhaps if I give the quilt to someone I love, then it will be OK. There are 11 more shirts to consider decisions.
.
Hugs on that shirt decision.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Elsie on this because this decision pulls on my heart strings. Hugs. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI've rehomed (=rummage sale) my husbands shoes, socks, and trousers but I can't deal with his ties, shirts, or the t-shirts with logos. (The underwear t-shirts are in the rag bin and have been useful.) It's funny because I quilt with shirts and ties that have belonged to other men.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very striking design.
ReplyDeleteI made a quilt from my Dad's favorite shirts, but I think if I had made the shirts, or my Mom had, it would have been harder to cut them up.
I also used pieces from the shirts I cut up to make little 2" finished log cabin or pineapple blocks, and stuff them to make ornaments for my Mom, my kids, and my siblings.
