Picture of the Day #47 is the Log Cabin Quilt Block… I was going to start.

I’ve had this on my dining room table for over a week and I’m stuck!

I knew I was going to struggle with not planning each and every block … but … I’m having a hard time seeing that the end result will look the way I want it to look!

I think my problem is … there isn’t enough variety in the patterns of fabric.  After comparing it to the first quilt I made … I have fewer choices … which forces me to use the same colors and patterns on every single block.

Unfortunately this is how I learn … by trial and error!

I’ve already cut all my fabric ….. grrrr …. so, I’m waiting for a light bulb moment on how I can change it.

One idea I may try is to ditch the Vanilla 5″ charm in the middle and use a Charm Pack of the same fabric … and ditch the Vanilla/cream sashing.  Or I could buy a chocolate/brown charm pack and use it in the middle.

Sounds  like a lot of thinking …. so maybe I’ll wait on this fabric.  I do really like the fabric …. but there’s no rush on this one since it was just going to be another test quilt 🙂

Have a good night!

p.s I have my next weigh in tomorrow  …. wish me luck!  I haven’t cheated on my diet,  but …. I always fear the scale!!!

Before I explain my Picture of the Day #46 I want to warn you that I’m writing this blog post from my iPhone.

In eleven years of blogging I think I’ve tried maybe once or twice ….and it usually ends up wonky.

But, I decided I need to master it if I’m going to continue because I have some trips coming up soon.

My picture of the day #46 is of Brooke and Skittles.

She’s so beautiful and sometimes it’s hard to believe she’s my baby.

I have one more picture of her photo shoot with Skittles …. I’m saving it for another day.

Have a good night!

My picture of the day #45 is of my girls …. Brooke, Bella and the bird (Skittles).

Aren’t they darling!!!

Skittles has red tail feathers and it looks like Brooke has a red streak in her hair 🙂

I hope you all had a Happy Valentines Day!!
