Scrappy Owl Log Cabins

I got sidetracked last night, must have hit save and not publish.   Anyway,  here are some of my log cabin blocks from scraps. The only thing that is the same with them is that the centers are all owl fabric.

When I get 20 or 25 blocks I'll be putting sashing between the blocks and then doing a piano key border.  Haven't decided on the color of the sashing yet.

Whoo Whoo's cute?

Joann Fabrics had this adorable owl fabric. Of course a yard and a half popped into my basket. I fussy cut the owls out and cut up my scraps to make wonky log cabin blocks.  I'm going to make each one measure about 14.5" unfinished so it'll be a really nice size quilt. 

And I'm using up my scraps which will be the best part ever. I have so many scraps I just need to tame them. This should help.

Look - wonky log cabins with the owls as the center:

 

Needing to be trimmed:

 

One complete block done and in the tub:

 

Aww, what a cutie patootie:

Whoo couldn't love those eyes?  Since there's so many colors in the owls anything goes - the best part ever for using my scraps!!

Star - BOM - January 2012

I'm participating in a BOM (Block of Month). January's block is the BrassTown Star from Quilters Cache.

I've not done this block before, somehow I missed it - and it's GREAT!! So awesome to have fussy cuts in the diamonds! I'm using a fabric I got about 2 years ago, and I'm so happy to have a use for it!

Anyway, here's my BrassTown Star.


What do you think?

Week 12: March 19 - 25, 2011

And another week comes and goes. Up for this week will be a fun (I hope) theme, and not super duper challenging. Who doesn't love OWLS? I was thinking use OWL fabric or OWL patterns or OWLS charms?

Whoo Whoo can guess what my theme for this week is?

If you've guessed OWLS you're right!
