Log Cabin Quilt
Thanks Sandy.
I really *do* love FPP! In fact, I find the square ruler awkward (though I most use the 6.5" and 4.5"!). It got a lot easier when I got the turntable cutting board. I do nevertheless get plenty of strip scraps! (that's quite difficult to say out loud g) .. In message , Sandy E writes Howdy! Using the 12.5" ruler, I square-up the block throughout the process, to make sure it doesn't get off track. By cutting long strips at the beginning, I have less to cut during the piecing. You have much more patience and skill than I to use the foundation piecing method. I've seen your work in Paducah, Pat: excellent! ;-) Happy New Year! R/Sandy - my process produces more scraps.. and that's good! g -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

Log Cabin Quilt
Kate:
I really like the off kilter LC Blocks. Cut the dark strips about 1.5" and cut the light strips wider ... maybe 2.25". Center square should be about 2" or so. They would finish to 1", 1.75, and 1.5"; set together, the narrow strips form an illusion of a curve. This is very cool. To determine the proportions YOU prefer, play with this on paper. Scrappy LC are lovely, though I do prefer continuity of the center square. HTH. PAT in VA/USA "Kate T." wrote in message ... I've never made this quilt and need some help. I want to make a queen log cabin and don't know what size block to make. I got a fella in mind that just built a log cabin and want to give it to him. any suggestions on block size and colors. Any of you gentlemen quilters have any suggestions for me. Kate T. South Mississippi |
