In amongst the stuff Carol gave me to go through, there was also a gold coloured box. I thought to myself, oh! what could this be. It felt like a treasure hunt. When I opened up the box, I found a bunch of strips of fabric. I was thinking this will be good, as it will add some variety to my own straps. As I move the strips around to admire the different patterns, I spy something pieced. After a bit more investigation, at the bottom of the box, I found a stack of random coloured log cabin blocks.
The blocks are cheerful. They are bright and vivid. Not your traditional old log cabins with one side dark and one side light. I haven't had much time to really examine them to see if there is a theme to them. For now I am having to content myself with the thoughts that, when I do get a chance to go through this box thoroughly, I am going to have some fun with colour.
The log cabin block is such an old favourite that I can bet most quilters have completed at least one in there lives. I myself have completed at least three variations that I can think of off hand and I am in the process of completing another one now with my mini paper piece log cabin blocks.
There is just something about them that people are drawn to.
Well, I will end my post here. I have to get ready for work. It will be a bit odd today, as this is my first Saturday working for my real job. It is usually a Monday to Friday type job, but they are asking for help with volumes, so thought I would do my share to help.
