Things To Come...

Remember when I started the Wonky Log Cabin Quiltalong... 

back in September?

I never quite got into it as much as I thought I would.

That was when Allegra got sick...

and well, you know the rest.

So, I have 6 blocks done...

I think that's enough for a small quilt.

I was going to add blocks of the fabrics as a second border,

but after thinking about it for 2 days,

I decided not to.

(By the way, this is the Just Dreamy fabric collection by Riley Blake.)

I sewed on the plain borders today, cut the binding strips,

and have the backing fabric ready to put together.

All set to work on another day.

Measures about 38x53, which is an odd size,

but...it is what it is.

So, then...

I had all these strips that had been cut for the quilt...

what to do with them?

Ohyeah!  I could put together another stacked coins quilt! 

So I did.

Here it is...measures about 30x32.

(And I have lots & lots of 3x5 inch blocks left over.)

So, that was my day...

what'd you do?

OOPS! I forgot!

I never did post photos of what I accomplished yesterday...completely forgot. ~sigh~ Here they are...

This is my second wonky quarter log cabin block. I'm liking these a lot!

Here are the two wonky quarter log cabin blocks side-by-side. Ya know, I try to do random and it just doesn't work. I deliberately did not look at block #1 while putting together block #2...wanted no influence over what I was putting together. So. I think this clearly shows how my mind works. No such thing as 'random' in my head...my mind is too orderly, methinks. It cracked me up when I saw them together. See how all the colors/strips are the same color/pattern? Even the placement of the 'odd' piece in the middle of a strip? I need help. Seriously. LOL
Since I am making 4 of each of the four patterns of this quilt along (for a total of 16 blocks instead of 25 blocks most others are doing), I think I'll make the remaining two of this pattern similar...either as these two are, or use opposite colors and place them diagonally from each other. Know what I mean?

Here's my practice 'maverick' star. It's supposed to be wonky, but I think it might be a bit too wonky.


I have a list of projects a mile long (nothing new for most of us, hey?)...am hoping to get more done today. Soon, I won't be able to show you everything that I'm working on. With Christmas coming fast, I have lots of projects to work on. Seems like half of my family has birthdays in November and December, too.

Have a great Sunday!

Allegra is feeling better.

She's eating and has gained a bit of weight.

We're thinking pyelonephritis.

Here's information:

Merck Veterinary Manual

She found her barker...

I now wonder why I was so upset

when she wasn't barking?

I managed to get one wonky quarter log cabin block done today.
