The new UFO I showed last week is farther along. I have a better view of what it is going to look like, and I like it.
Mission: to use blue and brown Civil War and 1800's reproduction fabrics, in a pleasing fashion. Result: with the log cabin pattern swirling in my head, I made dark log cabin blocks, browns on one side, blues on the other, with a yellow center block. I am reminded of a winter sky at twilight, and the winter browns of trees and ground. I am not tired of this pattern yet. I have 38 blocks, and I laid them out for a photo:
Not sewn together yet. Each block finishes at 10 inches square, and a 60 inch square quilt is an odd size. So more sewing is in my future. I cut more strips this week to get ready.
In the meantime, I am distracted by another project. Isn't that always the way? Maybe I'll show this yet-another-project next week.
Linking up with Midweek Makers, Put your foot down at For the love of geese, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I love the blue and brown color scheme for one of my favorite blocks!!
Oh my - this is just beautiful - the colors are so pretty together and that yellow - makes everything pop!
Great use of the reproduction fabric. They are the perfect choice for a log cabin quilt. The yellow warms everything up.
It is looking great. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap,
Such a lovely color combination for these Log Cabin blocks. A distraction? What a surprise! (Not!)
Looking forward to maybe seeing it next week. :o))
