I got all the tiny log cabin squares completed this week!
Thankfully, I am a patient type person. Otherwise, I think I would have closed the door to the quilting room and taken more time off. It does not work well to take a year off and then attempt to start back up without a hitch.
I think I picked out seams 3 times this week, on almost every square. I put the new log on the wrong side, or cut it too small, or added a strip that wasn't wide enough. Ugh. The main key to building a log cabin: always put the new log upside down on the top of the new strip with the new log at the top (first entering the machine), right sides facing each other!
But, I persevered and finished the goal for the week. 10 small squares completed!
I am also making progress on my Grandmother's Flower garden. More flowers added to the bouquet!
Short, sweet progress. Makes me happy.
How lovely! Little by little, you'll get to the finished product, with new bits of beauty gracing each step of the way.
