Wonky Log cabin /#10 May BOM

Learn It

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

Instructions

During the process of making this block, I ran out of scraps and took little pieces and stringed them together to get a strip.
When I was finished I looked at the square and the center looked like a blank space, so I applicaed a hexicon just in the right place to give the block interest.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

For: Other


Materials

The scraps from the last three block projects. I used them all until I got a large enough block to make a trimmed square the right size of my 12 1/2" Square Ruler. I also used the strips that I trimmed off the first try of #9 block, to make the second try. When I ran out of that, and I strung the cuttings together to make more strips.

What was your inspiration?

A bin full of scraps from the last three projects.

What are you most proud of?

I used every scrap and made something worth keeping.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to slice and dice this one. You cannot make a mistake. Have fun I did!

I like the hexi in the middle. And I love that you weren't afraid to piece some of your strips to make them long enough to use. It looks great!
