I went to my local quilt shop yesterday knowing we're expecting another snowstorm this weekend. I had received a gift of 12 batiks and knew what I wanted to make. I just needed a few colors for contrast. I don't really need to start a new project but I'm caught up on my BOMs, so figured what the heck!! This project should be quick. This picture is of 3 diamond log blocks. I like the effect of the fabrics.
This is the pattern that I've had for years. I always wanted to make it but never had the time. I've been thinking of making a Log Cabin quilt but wanted a more modern version. I figured I could try this table topper and see if I enjoy the process. It should finish at 36.5" X 31.5".
This is one diamond block. It's a log cabin quilt in 60 degree edges. I found the directions a little difficult but I think I'm catching on!!
I'm hoping this storm isn't too bad. When the storm is over, we have a high wind warning. I'm afraid we'll lose power. Ugh! This winter just doesn't want to stop! I'm definitely looking forward to Spring!!
Your log cabin diamond is so pretty...great colors, Rosemary--nice work

Thank you! I'm really enjoying working on this table topper.
DeleteThat is a stunning table topper. Your diamond block looks very challenging but you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! I really love it so far!
DeleteWhat beautiful colours and such a pretty effect! Everything you stitch is so beautiful, Rosemary. You might like to check out Rachel's versions of Log Cabin quilts at Stitched in Color to see her modern take on that old pattern. I enjoy her blog very much.
