Hidden Log Cabin Finish

It's a finish!

Hidden Log Cabin

40 x 56

In December 2024 someone with the Stashbusters group posted a link to Hidden Log Cabin made with a jelly roll or layer cake. I don't normally even look at jelly roll or layer cake ideas because I don't buy precuts. BUT at around the same time as the link came out someone sent me a flannel jelly roll so I went and looked at the video. 

The video calls for 42 strip jelly rolls and the one I had was 40. I used 35 strips which is all I needed to make a nice sized kiddo quilt. 

I finished the top in December 2024.

I quilted it on my sewing machine with vertical lines. 

The back and binding are a darker green flannel.

And now it is ready for donation.

And sew on...

Cool Colors. Warm Quilt.

It's a finish!

This started with a junior jelly roll someone gave me. I don't buy precuts so I had never heard of JUNIOR jelly rolls. Those only have 20 strips, not 40. So I added in some blue strips from the blue scrap bag. 

I finished the top back in June 2022. 

I quilted it on my DSM (Brother PQ1500) with some white swirls. 

Before I quilted it I should have read my June 2022 post where I mentioned I had a block turned the wrong way. It would have been an easy fix. But I didn't and so it goes.

The back is solid blue and the binding is a blue and white stripe. 

And now it is ready for donation.

"Blues and Browns" has been the theme this month in my sewing space to move UFOs forward.  In February my theme is "Free Range" -- I'll allow myself to range with freedom through the sewing space and work on any UFOs that suit my fancy. 

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (My word of the year)

Jan. 30 - Melting snow.We had some deep snow and drifts. Melting snow. That's cause for celebration!  I could make it out the backdoor and take a picture of my finished quilt hanging on the clothesline. While I was out I was also able to walk back to the gardens. I was pleasantly surprised that no trees have fallen this year in any of my garden areas.  I have a veg garden, cutting garden, herb garden, cottage garden and native wildflower garden.  I was not celebrating when I saw all the deer poop everywhere and damage to plants. 😢

 

A Really Cool Flimsy

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC)  color of the month is blue - bright and dark- but I'm going to use all my shades of blue.   I dug into the blue box of scraps to sort them all out and found what I thought was a jelly roll someone had given me a few months ago. Well, it had only 20 and not 40 strips in it and after a little research I found out there are such things as junior jelly rolls.  ( I don't buy precuts). So I rounded  up 20 more of my own cool fabric bits and pieces to make this easy quilt top. 

    I mostly did strip piecing (5 width of fabric sewn together lengthwise and cut into 10.5 inch blocks) but some of the fabrics I added in were not long enough so some fabrics were cut into 10.5 inch lengths and sewn together for blocks. I don't usually like to strip piece or make fast and easy quilts  but that junior jelly roll was just begging to be used immediately.  And it will make a really cool donation quilt someday when I get it finished.

I had two different pieces of big print blues I've never figured out how to use so they became the side setting triangles. 

And it wasn't until I looked at this picture that I noticed a block orientation mistake. Oops!

And sew it goes...
