Improv blocks



I decided to use up some scraps from my last couple of quilts.  These are just modified log cabin blocks.  I started with similar material or color in the middle and continues around  using one dominate color.

I am going to make 3 of each of the 4 colors and sash with white.  I will have 3 blue, pink, yellow, and green.  I was thinking about rotating one of the blocks so that the rectangle will be on its side and the other two opposing.  The blocks will be 20 inches square.
I really like the wonkiness of these blocks.  I will make a lap quilt out of these and I think I will give it to my hubby.  He keeps saying "is this one for me??"  lol They usually are for someone else.  It is his turn ; )

  1. Beautiful!! Love your colors. In your previous pics are those azaleas? I love them, but we haven't been able to grow them since in Texas...used to have them in Mississippi.

  2. Hi Mary~!~

    love the look of the wonky log cabins and what a great way to use up scraps~!!~ i think that i'm about ready to wrap up the making of tulips and do something else but am not sure just what . . . i simply haven't been able to really focus on it and i do still have a few tulip forms to "fill" so i'm sure that something will come to me in due time . . .i did get a call from the lady who long-arm quilted my coins child quilt and it's all done and i'll have it early next week. i'll post a shot or two of it finished but i think i've already decided that it is going to a local organization as a donation for a charity auction that they have coming up . . . so i suppose that i should think about my next coin quilt from scraps . . .

    thank you for your recent visit and for your understanding of my out-of-control busy life just lately. i am looking forward to getting back around to my own visiting with all of the wonderful bloggers that i know~!!~! it's become my inspirational shot in the arm and i just love seeing what others are doing and the results of their wonderfully creative minds.
