I have started: Silk Path

 Hello and welcome to my blog!

My last blog post was about my behemoth blue and white log cabin quilt top - finally done, and soon to go to the quilter.

Since I had my blue and white fabrics out, I started cutting out pieces for Bonnie Hunter's Silk Path pattern.  She did hers in brown and white, I am doing mine in blue and white.  I have sewed strips, but I have put one block together, to see how it looks:

There is good contrast between the light and dark fabrics.  I like the interlocking squares, and when (many) more blocks are made, it looks really complex.  I am very busy in my day job but I hope to get back to this soon.

Blue and White Log Cabin top is DONE

Good day, and welcome to my blog.

This behemoth project is now assembled and ready to go to the long arm quilter!

In recent days I have finished adding logs to the 100 10 inch blocks (finished size), trimmed them all (yes all 100) as my seam allowance varied and some were a little too big.  I then set groups of 4 blocks together as described in an initial post on this project.

Even trimming doesn't always help.

Those blue logs are supposed to line up, and the edge of the blocks should line up too!  Precision and accuracy are so important when the logs finish at 1 inch wide.

Anyway, 9 groupings:

And 12 units together: 

Final size is 5 by 5 blue units, for 10 by 10 block setting or 100 by 100 inches.  Yes it's a behemoth, and my sewing area floor cannot show it all:

This top contains many different fabrics, but I have used just dark blue/navy fabrics, and white/cream/beige fabrics, and constant yellow centers.  I am so happy to have this done, and ready to take to the long arm quilter, probably next week.
