Here is another quick and easy to make 'quilt as you go' block and it is the second in our series of QAYG blocks. (You can find the first QAYG block here.) I really love playing around with my scrap fabric to see what I can make. You can make an assortment of different types and sew them all together into a quilt or you can sew them into table runners and cushion covers. But whatever you decide to do, these quilt blocks will help you to use up your fabric stash, and that's always a plus. And don't forget
The Chicago Geese block is easy and quick to sew together. It's sort of Log Cabin, sort of Flying Geese, and looks very similar to the Wild Goose Chase block. Traditionally, it's made with a background and two colors but...you know me, I had to add more fabrics to the mix!

I'm always amazed at the patience of so many quilters who make those amazing quilts out of tiny bits of fabric. I don't think I will ever get to that stage but I sincerely admire those who have that ability to spend hours on their creations. Personally, I am a fan of quick quilts and I love trying to speed up the process of what I am creating hence why I love this method of creating a 4-patch quilt block. It is quick and easy to put together without having to cut up tiny blocks and piece them all together

Instructions for Log Cabins The block we are making is a 12" finished (12.5" x 12.5" unfinished) log cabin block with a 4" finished center. There's no colorway, just scrappy using quilt shop quality quilting weight cottons. See https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vFpoX37B0FCSs7VeOBohR9ITxMcK9H_4 for a cutting plan. Here's how the block swap works: 1. Make as many blocks as you want and bring them to the Feb meeting. 2. You will get one entry into the lotto for every block you bring in. The more blocks you make, the better your odds are :) 3. Winner takes all blocks!

I recently had a request to post the sizes of the blocks for my Chunky Cut Christmas Quilt. (Marilyn, I'm sorry I have been unable to respond to you personally, but you are a no-reply blogger.) This quilt is quick and fun and a great way to bust some stash if you are feeling you need to liberate fabric from your shelves. It would be so good in many different fabrics, I think, so if you make one, be sure to share. I'm sorry I don't have time to fancy up my quilt sketch before publishing here. I did consider it, but it will be a long time before I find time to do that, so I hope the sketch is legible on your screen and that it all makes sense to you. I constructed the block in sections A to I (indicated by the bolder lines on the larger diagram) and joined them into three rows to complete. The sizes on the diagram are finished block sizes, so remember to add a half inch to each measurement to allow for your quarter inch seams. The seam allowances are included on the cutting list below for you. Section A Cut 1: 15 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Section B Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Cut 1: 9 ½" x 18 ½" Section C Cut 2: 15 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Section D Cut 2: 9 ½" squares Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Section E Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Section F Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 6 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 6 ½" Section G Cut 1: 6 ½" x 15 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 6 ½" Cut 1: 12 ½" x 9 ½" Cut 1: 18 ½" x 9 ½" Section H Cut 1: 15 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 9 ½" square Cut 1: 9 ½" x 15 ½" Section I Cut 1: 9 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 6 ½" x 12 ½" Cut 1: 15 ½" x 12 ½" Binding You will need 15" FWOF for binding 246" of binding is required Cut 6 strips 2.5" x FWOF Backing I used a brushed cotton sheet for my backing so I didn't calculate actual yardage but the quilt will measure 57 ½" x 66 ½" finished, so you will need backing to cover this size. I think 3m/3yds should cover it but please check as I didn't calculate this for my own sewing purposes. I hope this is helpful to you Marilyn, and maybe others will also enjoy breaking out some long held fabrics for a fun scrap buster! Happy stitching!!

It’s been far too long since we posted a quilt tutorial! While this quilt is baby size, since we are gifting it to a friend...
My list was smallish for this week - try to finish 6 cat blocks and cut out the sashing ready to go.✅ - sew on the hanging sleeve to my background filler project❌ - take some photos of my Christmas quilt. I think I will put that in my Etsy shop for sale even though it is a bit late now...well, there's always next year.✅ The last bit of the cat quilt went quicker as I could see the end. I chain pieced along saying the names of the individual cats as I was sewing along so I would not get confused. Must have been really focussed as I did not mix up their faces 😂 Ran into a bit of trouble as I thought I had oodles of background fabric. Well, as it turned out it was just enough. Had a mild suspicion when I started to cut out the sashings. I have a table which tells me how many pieces I can get out of one strip. for the sashing it was 4, 10-1/2in pieces per strip but as I was starting to cut I noticed that I was only yielding 3 pieces! I then cut my outside borders as well of which I needed 8, 4in strips so that ate up a lot of fabric. In the end I had to cut some off some length from my border strips to make the sashings go the distance. A few anxious moments there and I thought that in the future I will put my background fabric away with the UFO. As years pass I do forget what I am working on or better said what I have stuffed away somewhere and it is just too easy to cut into your background fabric when you actually need it. Lesson learnt. Here is the completed quilt top It turned out so pretty, just like I had envisaged it. The quilt will measure about 57in x 66in. Had to go yesterday to look for some backing and batting and spent half a fortune acquiring it. Washed the backing and now just have to find some spare time to put it all together. Looking forward to quilting this. Today then I finally put up my Christmas quilt in my Etsy shop. It is a bit late but what can you do. There is always next year. Its a pretty little quilt. I used wool batting which makes this nicely soft and a little bit puffy. The quilt measures 32-5/8in x 47-1/2in, so a good size for a bit of a fun festive wall hanging to adorn the halls. Glad this is done so that I now can concentrate on other projects. Again, planning is the magic word rather than jumping around all over the place which I have been doing over the last few months.
