I decided to go mini (thank you, Janet O, for your inspiration!)! For me, it's more difficult since my piecing is certainly not super accurate. The strips finish at 1/4", by the way. The center finishes at 3/4". The block finishes at 3-3/4"! I call that small!
I really enjoy fussy cutting! That's Max in the center (well, not exactly but close enough)
This is a bird. The other centers are other animals!
I'm using my leftover French General fabrics, which I'm still trying to get rid of! VBG. Doing these mini blocks, though, won't use up a whole lot of fabric. So, if you're at all interested in inheriting some of these fabrics, please leave me a comment and they'll be yours! I think I'm done with this line for a while!
Randy your blocks are so neat. Would love to have some of your leftovers. is there instructions for your quilt along in English all I found was French. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are sooo beautiful but i wrote it to you on FB. Thank you so much for the giveaway ! What kindness Randy !
ReplyDeleteXoxo
OMG!! Randy!! What kind of eyes do you have to be working so small! That's even smaller than the 365 Challenge blocks! Ouch! They look wonderful btw. Would love to help you make the General disappear, lol. Thank you. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the log cabin sew along, as well as those beautiful FG scraps. They would go happily with some I've been saving:)
ReplyDeleteWould you post a link for the Sew Along? Blessings,
I've been saving scraps of FG and would love to add yours to the stack. I think I'm going to make a basket quilt with them!
ReplyDeletePS, I thought that was a sheep, not a dog! LOL
ReplyDelete3 3/4"!! I call that tiny! Love the fussy cut centers. I would love to help you lighten your scrap load.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Randy!! Your tiny blocks look wonderful! I love them!
ReplyDeleteI think I already did my part in helping you reduce these scraps, so I will pass on that! *LOL*
Lovely blocks--there is nothing like a log cabin block for me...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteLog cabin is my favorite quilt block. Your scraps would be welcome to play here.
ReplyDeleteyour blocks are just fantastic!! such neat precise work. and love the look. from Iowa Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteI admire your blocks and can't wait to see what you do this time. I am about to start the second Cabot Cuties, this time with French General fabrics and I didn't collect many of the gray/taupes, so your scraps would be welcomed here.
ReplyDeleteYour mini log cabin blocks are wonderful. I really like the vintage layout and fabrics. Thanks for the chance to play with some "new" FG fabrics.
ReplyDeleteANYTIME I'm offered French General fabrics my hand is waving in the air!! Would love to "rehome" some of these!! Your SAL looks interesting but unless there is an English translation I'm unable to participate. Took 2 semesters of French in high school and my French nun was glad to see the backside of me ... LOL Linda
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a sweet quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like the fabrics you are using for the logs. When making small log cabin blocks, I paper piece them. About the only block I like to paper piece.
ReplyDeleteI love your log cabin blocks!! The fussy cut centers are perfect!! I am always drawn to tiny pieces and blocks. I love French General fabrics -- would love to play with yours!
ReplyDeleteLove log cabins - so versatile - and made with French General fabrics even better. would love to be the recipient of your scraps.

ReplyDeleteWhat??? 3/4" finished! That is ambitious! I am doing this one too, but mine finish 2". Now it sounds like cheating to me. These little blocks are just beautiful. Have fun!
ReplyDeletedoing a scrappy double wedding ring and french general will definitely give it some class! lovely little blocks but just finishing up the 365 and even the phrase sew along makes me shiver...lol
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks--very cool! I've been tempted to sign up for the log cabin sew along--doing a mini is a great idea! I also love the French General fabrics BTW!
ReplyDeleteI won't turn down a chance at French General! I like your log cabin blocks.
