Quarter Log Cabins SAHRR

The prompt that Brenda gave us for Round Five of the Stay at Home Round Robin is to add Quarter Log Cabin blocks to our quilt tops.   So I have decided to make eight of them.  I have a tentative plan to use two at each corner.  I am waiting for the prompt of Round Six to see how they may play together.  

Meanwhile here is my pile of  Quarter Log Cabin blocks made with my fabrics. 

For some reason I decided to use an even 8 inch unfinished block for this quilt. 

So these are 8" square and will finish at 7 1/2" 

Why?  Honestly it was what worked with my center panel....but it has made it a bit more difficult to make the blocks to the right size. 

Regardless,  I think these will look great with the quilt top as it is so far. 

Until Next Time,

Face Off

This has been a busy week, so I almost have nothing for the Friday Face Off.  Here is my poor excuse for a face that I drew while Mom and I were watching TV. 

I had fully intended to go back into this and do more with it. 

Ah well, life goes on.

Here is one of my quilted faces from 2022.

Round Four SAHRR - Insert a strip in a block

This morning we got the prompt from Wendy to use the technique of splitting a block and inserting a strip.  I love doing this and it speaks to my improv nature.  So I created three "blocks" (not squares) that have inserted strips in them. I have placed them at one end of my piece so that I could see if I am going to like it. 

There they are at the top.  I think I like it. I do believe it adds a bit more of my style to the quilt.

  I will need to make more to go all around the existing piece.

Here are the three blocks 

(ummm ignore the loose threads, I was in a hurry.)

I love that this will contrast a bit with the "regular" piecing of the center of the quilt. 

What do you think?  Should I perhaps make it more even and "normal?"

FFO and SAHRR update

First here is a little update on the Stay at Home Round Robin:

I added a bit of applique (fusible) to the stars that I added the last round. I also made three more stars to keep the quilt symmetrical.

The purple circles on the four pointed stars make them look more cohesive with the rest of the quilt. 

Now for the Friday Face Off - I have a notebook cover with yet another skull.

I hope someone loves this one. I confess it is not my favorite. 

As always I put a pocket inside the front cover. (below)
