Progress

I am making progress on my quilt as you go log cabins.  It has been really slow going though.  I figure these blocks take me around an hour or two each to make.  They are 14.5 inches, so big blocks...I think my next block will be a bright, cheery aqua or yellow.

  1. I was admiring these in the Flickr group without realizing they were yours! I was thinking of making one of these quilts with the scraps from the Paintbox quilt-a-long (when I finish!) but 2 hours per block is intimidating... though they are big, and the quilting is done.

  2. They look great! Things like that take me forever - I think too long about each strip!

  3. SO, I'm curios, do these already have the batting attached?

    They look great! I really like the owls!

  5. The blocks look great! I can't say I'm surprised at the length of time they are taking using the quit as you go method. I know my 100 10-inch log cabin blocks each took 20-30 minutes to piece so I can kind of feel your pain, but not really. Can't wait to see it finished!

  6. Yes these blocks really do take time. One block is taking me 1 1/2 hours and thats not including picking out the fabrics strips to go together! Your blocks are looking great though. How many have you done so far?
