Here it is- the selvage quilt that didn't make a dent in my collection of selvages! This is my second selvage quilt (Emerald Selvage Spiderweb, 2013) and probably won't be my last. Now that I'm in the habit of saving them, I can't stop! This is where I started a couple of weeks ago. If you are wondering, the red is Kona Tomato. (My grandfather grew the best tomatoes.) It only took about a week to complete the top. Many thanks to Karen Griska for writing a great pattern! I opted to set the blocks on point and skipped the borders. I wanted to make lots of blocks (I cut mine at 10"). This size fits perfectly on my kitchen wall. Selvage quilts are heavy, so a lap quilt wasn't appealing to me. I knew I wanted to quilt this with red and white thread. I started with "organic" vertical lines through the red squares. I figured whatever I quilted in white would disappear, so I decided to practice feathers. (I really stink at quilting feathers!) All that top to bottom quilting means no threads to bury. No marking, no threads to bury = win, win. There are some really cute selvages in here. And so many memories of projects past! Printed copyright dates range from 1994 to 2014. The back is loaded with dots. Why not? The only place you can really see the feathers is on this section of the back. That's OK with me! More practice required. One more glamor shot on the couch with the matching pillow. Yes, it's snowing again! Selvage Log Cabin (needs a cuter name. any suggestions?) 42" X 42" Started January 31, 2015 Completed February 16, 2015 Pattern by Karen Griska
One week ago I was reading different blogs and came across Victoria's at Bumble Beans. She was talking about the Sandy Quilt Block Drive that Michele at Quilting Gallery was running and offered a tutorial for a tilted scrappy log cabin quilt. You could either make blocks or be a team leader - the other possibility I thought of was to make one from scratch. So I called my friend Janet and we both started making blocks. On Monday I picked up her blocks and along with mine started laying them out....... The original scrappy log cabin blocks were to finish at 10.5 inches and then have an additional 2 inch dark color strip added to make the last round. I did not have a 12.5 inch ruler - so used a piece of paper to make the final cuts - tilting half of the 42 blocks to the right and half to the left. After sewing all the blocks together and adding borders it was time to get it mounted on the longarm and start quilting. Wednesday I added the binding, photographed the quilt and shipped it UPS to Timeless Treasures in New Jersey for distribution. The finished size was 81 x 93 inches.

I’m not sure what the name of this pattern is. Knowing Sandy, it is likely an original design but don’t quote me on that. 🙂 Sandy is one of the nicest people you’d ever meet. She is kind and generous and TALENTED. Plus, she enjoys the same color palette as I do… vibrant! I’m pretty sure you could swap out my fabric sta
It has been years and years since I've made a log cabin quilt. Back when I sewed at home at our kitchen table, it seemed almost impossible to get into a good rhythm to make a log cabin quilt. There is a lot more stop and start sewing and pressing and cutting when making log cabins. And to not have space or room to real
UPDATE 02/03/2020 - please note that this was designed as a scrap buster block. Fabric requirements for a whole quilt have never been published. Please note that this pattern is copyrighted and may not be shared. Isn't this just so sweet? If you would like to make a block for a pillow or enough for a whole quilt, here is how to make the block: Start out by picking a background fabric or two. I am making my quilt with three different grey & white low volumes. Next, gather up some 2 1/2 inch strips of reds and pinks (and any other scraps you would like to include). Hint: This is a great way to use a jellyroll! For one block, you need to cut the following: Background Fabric: A - (1) - 4 1/2 inch square B - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares - (draw a diagonal line on each) Scrappy Reds and Pinks: C - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares D -(4) - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strips E -(2) - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strips F -(2) - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strips G - (1) - 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip Ready to start sewing? All seams are 1/4 inch. Press as desired. I tend to press to the darker fabric. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. This is the center of your heart or the beginning of your heart's ventricles for all of you with medical backgrounds. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the top of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the right of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the left of your heart's ventricles and press Your hearts ventricles should now measure 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. Now we are going to sew together your hearts atriums. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the top of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's atriums and press. Easy peasy thus far right? Next, we are going to get a tad tricky... Take 1 - 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and place it right sides together on the top left corner of the atrium as shown. Sew on the diagonal line. Trim to 1/4 inch and press up. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat on the top left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat for the bottom left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take the 4 1/2 inch square of background fabric and sew it to the left side of your heart's atriums. Sew right sides together the atrium to the ventricles. Sew the 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip to the right side of your heart and press Take the last 2 1/2 inch square of background fabric on the top right of the heart and sew on the diagonal line, trim to 1/4 inch and press open. Tad- da! You have one 12 1/2 inch Scrappy Log Cabin Block completed! I have 8 hearts completed as of today...please pardon my tacky design wall. If you make a block please tag me on Instagram @neverlandstiches so I can see... Thanks for visiting and happy sewing... Lisa Jo Neverlandstitches
