Dorky, but interesting

I made this little experimentation quilt years ago, a Sew and Flip Crazy Log Cabin, and enjoyed it so much, I decided it needed to be hand quilted. A few weeks later, Valorie Wells came out with HER Sew and Flip quilt book, featuring the same technique. Mine is really all scraps, and nothing 'matches.' It looks like I 'aimed' for a yellow center on most of the blocks.

Don't be afraid to experiment - you never know what will develop, or what you might learn, or how it will turn out. What's the worst that can happen? I KNOW you have fabric! You might end up with an interesting throw for your pet. 8-))) Hey, it's still comfy, and fun to remember the fabrics.

While it's kinda ... uhhhh unique, I DID enjoy the process, and even now, wrap up in it, or throw it on hard lawn chairs to soften the seat. I still like it - the photo makes it look like a tile collage.

One of THESE blocks is NOT like the other, DRAT! I did exactly what I would caution other quilters, "be careful which direction you tilt your cutaway template."

...back to the drawing board ...
