My students are going to love this!! These are the blocks I started when I was out of town a few weeks ago. The center of the block is a square 1.5" to 1.75". The logs were 1.25" prior to sewing...so they finished about 0.75". I did two rounds around the center block and then added a 2" strip of white to two of the other sides. They were trimmed to 5.5" square and finished at 5"! I added a 2" white border around the edges and it came it at about 49" square.
Perfect for my classroom! There are 81 little blocks so it totals about 900 pieces. I don't usually care about these numbers, but I know the students will ask...
This is on the backyard bench...see how small they are!
Then we went to the park....too bright out, I think...
These are the actual colors and an up-close pic. I quilted all over swirls...
So that is what I've been doing...On to my next project! Happy Quilting...57 more school days left!
This is lovely! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThose are cutie pie little cabins! I am not sure I have the patience to sew that many little blocks.
ReplyDeleteSummer break will be here before you know it!
I love this! So much charm!
