First, I'd like to thank you all for your comments on my post "how I'm reducing my fabric stash". I enjoyed getting your input and if you asked a question, I posted my reply in the post comments section.
As I mentioned, I made a Quarter Log Cabin quilt to use (and enjoy in a quilt) much of my Bonnie and Camille stash. This quilt is a quickie! And I couldn't be happier with it!
See below for the measurements of my block if you'd like them.
I love that I was able to incorporate a piece from every line from Ruby to Handmade...
I kept the quilting simple and did overall loops on the entire quilt...
For a backing, I was able to piece some of the large-sized aqua fabrics from my stash and make an all-aqua back.
My blocks finished at 6" and I set them on point with 1" finished sashing. Here's a cutting diagram for the block - easy to pin or save. The block is constructed just like a normal Log Cabin except that you're adding strips to just 2 sides. You could easily make 12" blocks with borders around a center square, then cut it in quarters. I didn't do that because I had smaller scraps and didn't want any identical blocks.

Thanks for the block measurements. It is gorgeous and I love the backing too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It's just gorgeous. Now I need to stop buying more fabric and use some of my stash. Love this to pieces. Patricia ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks for the measurements, what a great scrap buster!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! Great idea to use up and enjoy those fabrics you have been collecting and love!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! The quarter log-cabin is one of my very favorites!
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific. How have I never made a quarter log cabin before? I might just grab that little dimensions diagram and make this soon. Thanks for the math help, and the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWith the blocks on point, it's a whole new look! Thanks for the cutting measurements!
ReplyDeleteA quarter log cabin is on my list and I appreciate this post. It is so pretty with the fabrics you chose.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique use of scraps -- Will definitely have to try it! What width did you use for your white sashing? It looks the same as your 1-1/2" on your quarter log cabin block.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimberley, My sashing was cut 1 1/2" wide, finishing at 1". Hope that helps!
DeleteThank you so much! I love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteCynthia, grateful thanks for the inspiration and sharing the measurements. I would like to try this. It looks like a good leader ender project..... as I try to finish up my zillion other projects. Your quilt turned out so beautiful. The aqua light blue, reds and green look so nice together. Really soothing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! I need to use some of my many scraps and make this one too. I know the grands would love it!
