I am so lucky to have had a lot of sewing time this week, and have frantically managed to complete a total of 102 log cabin blocks (two spare!), putting in a great effort to make the final 20 blocks in just one day! Therefore, not much housework completed this week! Oh well.
I also had a bit of a play around with the layout:
And then decided that it would look great if I added white sashing in between all the blocks.
I carefully arranged all the blocks on my design wall (the floor!), which resulted in much yelling at the dog. He so knows not to walk on a quilt, and gives that knowing look as he continues to approach to try and snaffle up a block or two!
I have tried to ensure that all the colors are well arranged, and that there is no obvious concentration of color in any particular area. The full size of the quilt will be 10 rows of 10 blocks. All the rows were then numbered and 10 separate piles made of 10 blocks.
Rows of 10 blocks were then sewn together as a strip with sashing in between. The sashing is cut at 1.25 inches wide, the same size as the strips on the log cabin blocks.

After all the effort I went to to ensure that I was happy with the overall layout of the quilt I still managed to sew the row that was designated to be row 4 to the top of the quilt. And that is how row 4 became row 1. Aaargh! Then I decided it was going to make any difference.
Here is a sneak peak at how the quilt is coming together.
