| 42 block log cabin quilt - done! |
I made a few blocks one evening then made a few more the next night and suddenly I had 42 blocks! Log cabins go together very quickly and I love making them (especially wonky ones!!) so I enjoyed every minute! I couldn't believe I had enough pinks, yellows and oranges to make several blocks each in those colours (not my favourite colours) but I am really pleased with them. The red, green, grey and aqua blocks are my favourites though - yum!!!

So I decided to do QAYG (=quilt as you go) which was my first time. Maureen Cracknel has a fab tutorial so I tried it. I wish I had used a wider seam allowance - but hey, now I know for next time!
I chose some of Lucie Summers 'Summersville' fabric for the backing and did a little piecing to make it wide enough, using a piece of red with white dots and a piece of Aneela Hoey's fabric. Stitch in the ditch holds the top to the back.

Binding? Scrappy of course!! This doesn't show all the binding bits but you can see the entire binding in the picture above.

And now I can link it up to the linky party over at Ellison Lane Quilts and cross another quilt off my to-do list! Check out the Flickr group too! There are some really yummy scrappy log cabin quilts there. I love the monochromatic blocks and how people played with the layout of the blocks!
I still have more scraps - perhaps I should make another??!!!!!

that's so cool!!!!
I love it. It is big, bold and bright. Di x
It must be immensely satisfying to see those scraps in a finished and lovely quilt - great job.
I love it too.... I signed up but didn't even get to sort my scraps.... Bad girl!
But you have inspired me to get going....
that, my dear, is a thing of beauty!
Beutiful, amazing use of your scrap stash.
I love it! :) so colorful. I love the scrappy binding, too. It fits in very well with the rest of the quilt :)
Looks good! Congrats on the finish ; )
really Fun looking quilt, great colors..
It is so beautiful! I love all the brilliant colors. The Summersville works great as a backing! I wish I would have used a wider seam allowance too, it was tough getting those bulky 1/4" seams to lay flat!
Wow that's great, the scrappy binding is perfect!
fabulous! the scrappy binding is great (and love the name of the quilt!)
What a great quilt. I particularly like the scrappy binding - what a neat idea! (Visiting from TGIFF)
Awesome, Amy! Now I really wish I'd done that QAL. Great job keeping with the scrappy theme on the binding and backing too!
Another super neat scrappy quilt. :D I really love this!
