Wonky Log Cabin

It's a flimsy!

Made with shorter strings it is string quilt top #5 to come out of my big box of strings. 

I used three inch red squares for the centers. Why? Because I had those pieces left over from making the Crossed String Top still on my cutting mat so it seemed to be a good idea to use them up. I almost had enough but had to dig a red solid scrap out of the box of red scraps so I'd have 30 squares. 

I decided to make 9 inch blocks with half in light strings and the other half bright/dark strings. Then I used the Fields and Furrows layout. 

 

It's a Mysterious Finish!

 I guess I don't need to name a quilt I'm donating. 

This is the result of a magical mystery quilt along with Libby who blogs at Life on the Hill.

This is a Hands2Help Quilty Hug for Happy Chemo

I used up some old floral bits and pieces and chunky scraps  - a lot of them daisies - and had some fun doing it. 

There were several ways to layout the mystery blocks. I chose fields and furrows. 

 I quilted it on my DSM with some very free form daisies. 

The backing and binding are full of roses. 

And those scraps were sure put to good use. 

Oh Scrap! Quilting is More Fun Than Housework
