LOG CABIN BLOCKS USING MY ACCUQUILT GO LOG CABIN DIE

As some of you know from previous post, I started using my Accuquilt Log Cabin Die to cut up my scraps.  I emptied one tub and one basket.

Here is what I have so far.  Thirteen blocks.  It is great to have them cut out and ready to go.

While traveling 2 hours to see my son and his family I took my fabric with me in their plastic compartments (see post below) and I separated the lights from the darks.  It was taking me so long to get the fabrics I wanted when I was sewing that I took that riding time to do this.  It took me one and a half hours to seperate but I am so glad that I did.

A little note about the log cabin die and the blades coming out.....I have yet to call them.  I did go on their site and leave a message with a picture but I just hate the telephone but I will.....I must get on that phone and call them.

If you are interested in the row by rows that my sister and nieces are doing, Jeanette has the pictures up of hers and a few others that have finished their rows for this month on her blog.

 We have decided that at the first of the month I will post the theme and then Jeanette will post the pictures of the rows when she gets them.  I have to tell ya, these are turning out so cute.

WHO DOESN'T LIKE A LOG CABIN QUILT? WHAT ABOUT TWO LOG CABIN QUILTS?

This is what our challenge is for this month.....

LOG CABIN

I have always loved the look of a log cabin quilt and the versatility of it is amazing.

Now was my chance....Island Batik makes me step out of my comfort zone.

So when this challenge came up my sister asked me if I ever saw this ruler.

I said no, but was up for the challenge.

Here are my log Cabin squares.  I used a lot of scraps but I wasn't thinking, I've got my large scraps and didn't think at the time about how big I wanted to make it.  If I had thought this through, I would have just made it scrappy instead of each square the same..   Unfortunately for me, I ran out and was only able to make a baby quilt.  My sister, Jeanette, made a much larger one and I am so glad.  This quilt is so pretty and just knew it would be amazing bigger.  Just click on my sister's name and it will take you to her blog.

Isn't it adorable?????

It took me months to cut up my log cabin squares with the ruler, I was so afraid of making a mistake, even tho I had done a practice square out of random fabric scraps.  It wasn't until my sister, Jeanette, cut in to hers that I bit the bullet and did so myself.

Here is the You Tube we used.

Then I quilted it with Aurifil Thread.  I think this is my favorite color because I have another one similar in color and it is almost gone as well.

Well...this is a long winded post today. 

Taking a breath.....

 So...as I am tootaling along, I came across this fun fun you tube.....and yep...I just had to do it.

I had a Crystal Cove Island Stack (equivalent to a layer cake but Island Batik Fabrics).

This works up really fast using the Island Batik Stack.  It is always fun to work with Island Batik fabrics because as I am cutting I think...oh....I love this fabric, no, this one....

I had taken pictures of the process but can't seem to find the pictures, same with the other quilt above.   

Well, nothing like posting the last day of the month.

Have a wonderful Christmas Season!!
