log cabin- and the going is slow ; )

but i am still totally loving it! i know i am supposed to use scraps, but i don't own any of those, so i ordered some more designer fabric sample packs from fabric closet on etsy, and i am off and running (or is that off and sewing!) i have done like 16 or something now, so yeah, about 90 to go!! what the, i will be 103 before i get to snuggle with this beauty...but at least i DO think its a beauty!

what do you think?

I am still trying to work on my friends picnic rug, but i am struggling to find anything at my local op-shop's. trying to find pastel-y floral vintage fabric...sheets, pillow cases, anything really, but no luck...Do you know of any vintage sheet swaps going on lately?

Maybe i should try and organise one? would anyone be keen to join me?

check this out!!!

i am finally making a log cabin quilt!! YAY for me!! HOORAY!! i know, i am a tool, but i am getting a bit sick of doing coin quilts, as that is all i know how to do...but since i asked for your advice on what to do with my little fabric bundles, i went on over to this flickr group, like you suggested and went from there. there are some seriously awesome log cabins out there, i feel a bit intimidated! but anyway...
i then found a really good online tutorial from Aussies Melly and Me. here it is! it is awesome. maybe i could have done it free hand, or just made it up as i go, but from what i have seen this is fool proof, and makes the best looking quilts around. take a look, it is SO worth it if you have never done one before.
and look, here is the proof. i am loving this. i find the repetition so satisfying...it is calming and relaxing, but beware- do too many in one day, and you WILL dream about them lol
sorry bout the quality of my photos, but it is STILL raining outside and i think the sun has forgotten to come back, so my kitchen bench it is...for now!
