Which fabric should I use?

February 6, 2017 by Angie 7 Comments

My picture of the Day #37 is two pictures of fabric …  I’ve gone through my Jelly Rolls and I’ve narrowed my choices down to these two ….

Carina (bought last year)

or Giraffe Crossing 2 (Rolie Polie) just ordered today!

Or … is there another Jelly Roll you would like to suggest?

See ya tomorrow!

Picture of the day #36

February 5, 2017 by Angie 4 Comments

I’m happy to share that my Picture of the day #36 is of my Log Cabin Quilt … on my Quilt Wall!

I needed the Design Wall for two reasons …

  1. To figure out how to place my blocks so that the end result would look beautiful!
  2. If adding sashing, would it make me like it more or less?

I figured out the placement lickety split … and YES to the sashing.

Notes (that may or may not make sense)… 

  • I’m wondering … is this still considered a log cabin quilt if I started with a 5″ square in the middle and then built it out?
  • Each block measures 12.5″ – (before I add sashing to 12 of them).  I could add more pieces to make the square larger …maybe I’ll try that down the road (after I’ve made a few).
  • Each block has a 5″ charm square in middle and then 8 jelly roll strips.
  • I only have four blocks of each color because I eliminated the Red and Yellow Strips (I did not use 8 of the Jelly Roll Strips that would have given us 4 more blocks).
  • I have to figure out how to do the Quilt Along … using all the fabric in a Jelly Roll.  (I should not have eliminated the two colors on my test quilt!! But, in my defense I’m keeping this one for myself and I just had to use the colors I LOVED!
  • Did not intend on this quilt being a square … but it is!
  • I could open another jelly roll and make one more block of each color …. but wouldn’t that just make it a bigger square … yep!
  • Last thing … I LOVE having each block be all the same color … but I’m thinking it may be harder to do with some Jelly Rolls.  So I need to make another one … using all the fabric … randomly… but can I?  Now I understand why people want to use the exact same fabric as I do … it takes away all the thinking … LOL
  • I should be able start filming the Log Cabin Quilt Along very soon!!!  When I set a goal of one Quilt Along a quarter … it made me jump into action 🙂

Gotta get back to work and I pray I get it all done so I can sew while Dave watches the super bowl.  (I moved the breakfast room table closer to the living room … so I can say “I’m with you honey” as he watches the game.)

Have a good day!

 

 

 

Log Cabin Quilt – WIP

February 4, 2017 by Angie 1 Comment

My picture of the Day #35 is the beginning of my Log Cabin Quilt.

I know I said yesterday that I was going to work …. and if I finished I would work on the log cabin quilt.  But, I woke up and decided I deserved a day of rest/sewing.

By the time I finished, I completed 16 blocks.

I think I’m going to LOVE this quilt …. but … it is very time-consuming!

I cut, I sewed, I pressed, I squared up the block … repeat on all 8 pieces of each block.  Yes, I spent 8 hours on 16 blocks.   That was my doing, I could have cut all the pieces and thrown them together … but I carefully placed each piece where I thought it belonged.

I’ll share more pictures soon!!

See ya!

Picture of the Day #34

February 3, 2017 by Angie 2 Comments

My Picture of the day #34 is a Fat Quarter Bundle….  what can I say I LOVE fabric!

These colors are not my style … but, I can appreciate them…. and I think it will make a beautiful quilt.

I had my 2nd weigh in today and I lost another 3-1/2 pounds…. I would have lost more had I eaten.  I didn’t realize until I got there today and they added my protein that I was short every single day.   It was a stressful and emotional week and now I know that I can’t under eat just as I can’t over eat.   I also didn’t eat my carb allowance and I don’t need to be skipping that either.

I have my Log Cabin quilt fabric on the dining room table and it keeps calling my name!!!   If I can get all five videos filmed and edited tomorrow  for Stamp Club Online… I will allow myself some time to sew … but it may end up being Sunday.   My videos for Chic n  Scratch are filmed and I just need to edit them…. thank goodness!

I just realized I’m rattling on … I’ll say goodnight before I start another subject.

See ya tomorrow!
