Work but not much progress!

When I posted a photo of 4 blocks completed for the Siblings Together appeal, I didn't really plan on making very many more as I knew we were going away for a couple of days and I think I only signed up to make 4 blocks anyway. Those log-cabin style blocks, however, turned out to be quite addictive. There was always just another combination that might work and would only take a few minutes to put together! So, this is what I ended up with

I even managed to incorporate a few of the charm squares that I won in Erin's fugly fabric giveaway a few weeks ago. I think I'm finished making these blocks but maybe not and a quilt of this block is definitely in my future, but not just yet! Especially given the lack of progress on my current projects :)

The round-up does not make very rewarding reading.

I hope you have been having a more productive time than I have. We have a family wedding to go to later this month, so I am hoping that one of those bags will finally move from the Waiting list to the Completed list otherwise I will have nothing to carry my lipstick in!

  3. I love your fabrics! And those log-cabin blocks are gorgeous. The first time I tried log-cabins, they brought me to tears of frustration. I swore I'd never make any again. Then I ran across a scrappy, alternative way of making them, and... I can't stop. You're right - very addictive.

    Good luck getting a bag done in time for the wedding!

    1. Thanks, I shall need some luck I think as the bag I would really like to make is from Amy Butler's book and I am guessing it won't be a quick make!
