sewing Saturday improv log cabins

Welcome to this week's sewing round-up

These are some cool log cabins done in an improvisational way.


When looking through my orange scrap bin to keep with the color of the month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, "Orange" , I noted a lot of strings.


thin small or long, strips, often ragged often fraying and uneven.



Perfect!







Off to the white and beige bin for similar strips, sit at the machine and piece the puzzle pieces together
don't overworry size of blocks, keep pressing between strips, let the centers vary, allow for it to be perfectly imperfect because the odd  tilts are more interesting to me than straight little soldiers.

Oh let's make a couple more blocks...
and move them around on the wall.
 Fun!
I think I'll go back and do this with the bright greens from last month!

    Those shades of red and white are perfect for Valentines. And log cabins are always a welcome design. Have fun putting these together.

    I love your "tilted" strips or orange. Your process encourages me to try it out one day.

    You have an orange scrap bin? I bet you have a warm and inviting home, don't you? Kisses to the Milo boy. Oliver says, "Hi." Actually he says, "A wooo!" My cousin got the most hilarious clip of him on the couch howling after everyone left him on his own, I'll have to post it. Yes, my cuz was in his boy cave in the basement but that doesn't count in the little rat boy's beady eyes.

    I went back to see what you'd made with bright green. I think those wonky geese could work nicely with these log cabins....that is, pick a different wonky block to make using that month's color....

    This looks so relaxing - no worries about strip size with the wonky log cabin. I must try this for those days where I just need to sew and not worry about size of anything. Thanks for sharing with Design Wall Mondays, Judy
