No, no, no, not twenty four push ups! Twenty four quicky log cabin blocks, LOL! I still haven't tired of them. In a weak moment late at night on Ebay, I bought some inexpensive vintage Cranston scraps and quickly sliced and diced them into 2" strips.
I have a definite problem with giving away quilt-shop-quality quilts to anonymous recipients in the various quilt drives for the needy. There are too many stories of the needy folks selling off those comfort quilts for drug money. I love my quilts! I have spent months making most of them and it is REALLY hard to part with them. I like to just gaze at all the different fabrics that are in the quilt and enjoy them all. Okay, I'm a quilt miser.
I started doing these 24 log cabin blocks as some relief from the rows-sewing and pressing of the churn dashes. I'll have to get back to them, too.
But right now I'm having fun strip piecing the log cabins with the hope that I might be able to donate it.
I like to trim the last strip's end edge, then place the block face down onto the next or ongoing strip, finger-pressing as I go.
I have 24 blocks in the chain cycle.
So far, they have 8 strips added onto the red chimney and I'm planning to do 12, so I have a bit more to go.
Here is my quilter's breakfast with a few slices of ripe brie cheese, scrambled eggs, and some new-to-me potato patties from the frozen foods section.
The brand of the patties is "Cavendish" and they are imported from Prince Edward Island, Canada. We gently fry them in a small bit of canola oil and, boy howdy, are they ever tasty! Sure beats toast!
Hey! I didn't think of it, but this happened to be a gluten-free breakfast! How about that?
Last night the skies were clear for the full moon that rose with great drama.
Happy sewing!
