Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails and sugar and spice and everything nice - that's what this quilt is made of (as well as scraps, scraps and more scraps).
72 x 90
Wonky Logs
From scraps
For my grandnephew
I quilted it on my plain Jane Janome. I quilted it with a loopy design going one way on the light sections and the opposite way on the colored sections.
The blocks were made last year and this year as one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. I made four nine inch wonky log cabin blocks in scraps of the color of the month and then joined the four blocks into eighteen inch blocks.
I started each block with the traditional red square.
I used extra wide muslin for the backing. I don't think that red bled through...I THINK it is just showing through out in the sun. I used three color catchers in the wash.
I thought I had enough of that striped fabric for the binding but I accidentally used some in the potholders I've been making...ooops...no matter...I filled in with a couple of polka dot pieces. (Don't mind the "shaky hand" quilting. It really only shows up in close up photos which I shouldn't take).
And since I used lots and lots of scraps I'm going to link up to Oh Scrap! at Quilting is More Fun than Housework. Isn't it?

I love your log cabin, just delightful. It is a great block up use up scraps and I am going to keep that in mind for next year....hopefully I will be down to only strings next year, thats the way it should work, right?!
Lovely rainbow log cabin--hugs, Julierose
Great quilt. And I live scrappy bindings.
Fabulous finish!
Love how you quilted this one! Another happy quilt for sure! I recently heard that adding a bit of Dawn dish detergent helps get rid of any bleeding.
You are just speeding through quilts these days! Is this maybe the third finished quilt this month? This is really bright and fun.
Congrats! on your newly completed RSC Quilt. I'm sure that the recipient will LOVE it (as much as I do!!!)
Nice nice NICE!!!! Lucky is the man getting this quilt. Great interp of RSC.
I watched you making those blocks last year and loved them then. Absolutely adore the finished quilt!
What a fun and fabulous quilt. Congratulations! I am sure it will be much loved.
I love it!
Looks fantastic! I love the rainbow of your blocks and the added polka dot in the binding.
A lovely finish! I love that little extra red polka dot binding too!
Log cabin is so much fun. I like your bright colors and mixed neutral lights. The polka dots add to the binding--good thing you ran out of stripes.
Thanks for sharing your lovely quilt with Oh Scrap! I think it turned out wonderfully - so bright and happy!
I love the striped binding, but it's also so fun to see the pop of the red polka dot in there. A very happy quilt!
This turned out GREAT! Rainbow scraps make the happiest quilts!
Beautiful quilt. I like the red square that unifies the whole thing.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on a beautiful finish! I love it. Love scrappy binding, too.
I so love this pattern and your bright colors. I did not know it was traditional to start with a red square but I love it!
