patrice, i've got some of that gold looking fab. with what ya'll call tear drops. my sis. and i call those bubbles in the beer fab.

patricej

that's a good name for it! not sure i'd drink beer that color, though. then again ... i don't like beer at all so i probably don't know what's good and what isn't. LOL

patricej

thanks. naturally, the wonky parts are SCREAMING at me from the web page. but i absolutely refuse to fix it/them. i shall call it "rustic" and look at anybody who says they notice it as though they are total hicks with no artistic knowledge or class.

just call me Patrice Picasso.
:mrgreen:

Never tried doing a block like this but it was fun and I found a way to use those leftover strip I had

Ceannastahr, I love what your extension table does to the log cabin block. When I looked at the photo, I thought at first you'd done a big border around it! You did a great job. And Patrice, I love your rustic logs. They're waaaaay cool, you use great color combinations!

Patrice, love your tutti frutti scheme, cant wait to see the whole quilt.
Ceannastahr, I love your pastel flavors,looks kind of like a banana split. very nice blocks .
Here is my attempt of a log cabin variation.

Mary I like the steps it make me think I'm going to the gazboo in the center

now, lookie h'yar, Mary. that's just toooooo darned clever by far. (because it makes me wanna drop everything and make one, too. LOL)

that block would also make a faaaabuloso alternating block to frame all the Blocks-of-the-Twice-a-Month so a person could have a nice sized quilt in half the time.

:P

Rustic logs ... Rustic. (Wonky I have to fix! "Rustic" is a style. So what if it happens by accident. so did the first phone call. :lol: )

jessiesmom

Thanks, Patrice, but I dont know if I would want to make so many of these blocks. No matter how hard I try to measure and cut right, I always seem to come up with pieces that do not match. I had to push and pull and stretch this thing into submission.lol

But on the other hand it would be a good learning tool. One thing I did not do, because I am basically lazy is pin, and that is probably why I had so much trouble.
