I love these low volume log cabin blocks. For sure will do them again in another project.
I have hand pieced mine. I am planning to enlarge the quilt so I am making another border of these blocks before adding the arch blocks. It comes to 52 blocks total and a made a few more. The next thing was what to but into these blocks. I decided to use a book from Becky Goldsmith -100 Whimsical Applique Designs: Mix & Match Blocks to Create Playful Quilts from Piece O' Cake Designs
I am taking the flowers, probably a few birds and using them in those blocks. I am not doing the flower pots and maybe adding or subtracting for some of the designs. I am using many scrap pieces and so far I am pleased with the results.
Advice- as the next few months will be appliqué, for those doing hand appliqué I strongly encourage you to watch Becky’s YouTubes regarding her tips. They are excellent. I am always trying to improve my appliqué. I have about 15 blocks done and they are great to pair with evening TV movies. I also look forward to Jen’s embroidery touches and will probably and that to these blocks in future.
** I did not trim down my log cabins, they are close to 8.5” unfinished. With appliqué sometimes the block shrinks so will trim them to correct size when completed. Just something to think about as you finish these blocks.Linda H
Happy Quilting

Linda, I too love Becky Goldsmith's you tubes about applique and hand stitching. Those birds in
that book are darling and so whimsical. I am going with butterflies for my applique, from Catherine
Redford's book, Butterfly Stitches. Another round of log cabin appliqué blocks is a perfect way to
grow the quilt. HelenW

The brightness of your appliqué will really stand out in this block. I love it. Everyone is coming up with some great ideas to make this quilt their own. I love the twists and turns we see in the forum.
-
I have my log cabin blocks around the centre block and placed block 1 and improvised block 2 in the second round. I believe I will do another gold border around the outside of this block with some embroidery in that border. I'm starting to like these African prints a little more than when I started.So far this quilt is measuring 63" square

Alice, I love all the thought you have put into your quilt. Very harmonious.I like the way you turned the log cabin blocks so you got a triangle from 2 red/pink sections and 2 green sections together.
Then putting the crescents on the log cabin blocks ties it all together. This is the first BOM I remember
where everyone is just going off in their own direction. I just love it. HelenW

Alice, I love what you have done with your quilt pieces. The added secondary patter is outstanding!

I enjoy having this applique sections. Looks like I need to look at quilt picture more. Will plan my directional prints. Appliquick helped making orangish flower. Working bits at a time! Finishing up Caution Curves Ahead first & another quilt. Love this project. But, have to improvise some at 69 to make things easy for my hand tremor.

I’ve been absent from the 2024 BOM forum while working on my wool projects. This week I decided to jump ahead to month 4 and tackle the log cabin blocks. Previously, I’ve only completed the center block back in January which I hand pieced.
I started working on these using chain piecing, but after getting through the fifth piece, decided to finish two at a time. As someone who does wool appliqué, sitting at my neglected machine was enjoyable. And placing two completed blocks at a time on my design wall was exhilarating!
Since my design wall didn’t have room due to my wooly projects, I used my island to determine placement. I just finished stitching the 4 borders together and hope to start appliquéing next week. My goal is to finish the blocks from months 3 and 4 (or at least finishing drawing and cutting) so that I can bring them this July to a hand piecing class I’m taking at Sue Spargo’s shop in Ohio.
I’ve enjoyed watching how everyone has put their own spin to this beautiful design!Carole Berry

Love the hummingbird. I put them in lots of my projects. I started a BOM pattern by Bonnie Sullivan. Folk Art Sampler.
It has 9 blocks, but I want 12, so I will put together 3 extras. Also want it bigger so I am adding a sashing and will do
a pieced outside border. Here are the first 3 blocks. They are made of flannel. I have not done a lot of hand embroidery
yet, need to resupply my thread stash. Love the pearl 8, but sometimes use DMC if I can't get the colors I want in #8.
I added the robins to the block that just had a nest. I changed the vase to a watering can and added a frog and snail.
It is always fun to put your own spin on things.
Your log cabin blocks are such a beautiful subtle light gray/white. Looks great on the island. So glad to hear that you are
happily sewing at your machine. Way to face your fears!!!
