How to Build A Log Cabin.....

.....Quilt that is!!

You take one door prize of fabric from a friend...

Thank you to Pineapple Fabrics for this door prize from Minot!!

Use the ruler and book from Marti Mitchell

 that

 you have owned for 1 1/2 years now....

And start chopping this wood up.....

I wanted to use all the fabric from this grouping.

I used the yardage  to make the log cabins...

The charm squares for the offset flying geese...

I added random browns from my stash

 to

 make 2 REALLY large Log cabin blocks

Which I cut in half for each corner....

There was no pattern...

just building as I went...

Trying new techniques.....

That included when it came to the quilting...

I recently watched some videos by Angela Walter

and

 how to use her rulers by Creative Grids

This is Slim....

and Archie!!

Keep in mind I do not have the right foot for using these...YET!

But I used them as a guide line for now...

Tried some pebbling...

Templates...

Stippling...

You name it....

I tried it all as this is the only way a person learns....

I am definitely in Kindergarten!!

D- ....there is always room for improvement...
