The week in stitches.
This week I am revisiting the Scrappy Quarter Log Cabin Block, this time adding gingham fabric to the design. Scrappy + Gingham! Gingham fabric is, just like dots, stripes and checks, one of my stash basics, and I usually have on hand small pieces (fat quarters) of gingham in a range of sizes - small, medium, large - and colors. For this project I ordered yardage, with the intention of using it as sashing for the blocks, but a last minute change in design meant that the gingham fabric instead featured in each block.
Quilt in Progress Stats
64 Scrappy Quarter Log Cabin Blocks
576 patchwork pieces
Each block measures 6.25" x 6.25"
100+ different printed fabrics from stash and rescued from the scrap bin.
The gingham fabric I have used is Medium Gingham in Black by Riley Blake.
Blocks made as per Scrappy Quarter Log Cabin Block Tutorial
(but only with the first 8 logs and then trimmed back to measure 6.25" x 6.25")

Today I have been busy working on the final layout and sewing these blocks together ... with sashing. It is coming together well; a traditional block, a cheerful riot of color and pattern, and a good representation of my ever evolving fabric stash.
More soon.
