Since I was running out of summer at the beginning of September I decided to get started on the quilt I want to make from this one pound of thrifted fabrics, which were chosen by someone else (the blue floral on the top right is the backing fabric that I chose from my own stash.) I've been dithering because I wanted to try a couple of traditional pattern ideas, but none of what I considered would allow me to use all of the fabrics. So I decided to go with the one classic patchwork pattern I knew I could use everything to piece.
It's also a very simple pattern to cut: you just need to make everything into strips.
Then I was able to make ten log cabin patchwork blocks out of the fabrics.
I had one more thing I wanted to try -- piecing two more blocks out of the leftover trimmed pieces -- and then I'd be ready to sew the quilt top. Stay tuned to the blog to see how I did.
