BOM May

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Traditional, Classic, Funky


Materials

Cottons from my stash

What was your inspiration?

These were fun to do. I made the block "4-sided" instead of 5 because 5 sides to me is Crazy Patch. I wanted to go for more of a "drunken" log cabin.

What are you most proud of?

I'm getting better with "wonky". I need to throw the "rules" out the window more often!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Forget the "rules". Use wider strips (~3"). I used strips that were already cut from previous blocks which were narrower. Wider strips allow for more "wonky" cuts.

Thanks. I'm probably more embroidery crazy, but that's too long a name. 8-)

These blocks don't really need any instructions. Just start with a center "square" and log cabin around it with whatever strip your hand lands on in the pile. Repeat until your block is >12.5 inches. Then just trim to 12.5 like all the previous blocks.
