I've seen a few bloggers who are snapping photos of their design wall on Mondays. I'm enjoying seeing what's hanging in other quilter's sewing room so I thought I'd share today. Hmmmm, looks like a lot of little quilts going on in my room! I've talked about the basket block and snowball just recently. They haven't moved from this spot since then!I am trying to decide what to do with the lone log cabin. I didn't enjoy it enough to make more of the same, but I could add more of something to make it big enough for a wallhanging. (any ideas?)
The little applique blocks to the left were 4 little blocks I found while cleaning, so I whipped up a little sash and made a mini 4 block quilt.
Does that funky green and pink center block look familiar? That was in my crumb pile now destined to be a scrappy little medallion. I'm so glad I didn't throw it out.
So, that's on my wall this week. What's on your design wall?
Wow, you have a lot of goodies in the works. I like that log cabin and have seen a lot of similar ones posted in blogland, usually as part of a larger primative style quilt. Maybe you could make some small blocks to add to it and make it a seasonal wall hanging. Like some trees for Xmas or a flag & eagle for a 4th of July type thing.
ReplyDeleteWow...you have been busy! I like Julie's idea for the log cabin...maybe add a few small log cabin blocks too?
ReplyDeleteLove the log cabin. You could surround it in log cabin blocks.
ReplyDelete*yummy* Lots of inspiring things on your wall . . . . I hope my new place will offer the space for a wall of my very own *s*
ReplyDeleteLove the snowballs. I think little log cabin block might add nicely to your log cabin block. I am also glad you did throw away the pink and green. It is very cute indeed.
ReplyDeleteI made placemats with four of the log cabin blocks but you only have one. A pine tree to the side and maybe use it as a medallion center. I like the idea of log cabin blocks surrounding it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the log cabin and was going to say the same as Karen - use log cabin blocks around it. How big is the cabin?
ReplyDeleteNothing is up on the wall yet - I have to get some blocks finished first.
I was thinking small log cabin blocks around the cabin too. Great minds think alike, lol.
ReplyDeleteOH I love that log cabin block
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make that quilt forever!!!
I would make it into a medallion quilt
that would be an awesome center ....
all things outdoorsy! bear paw blocks,
trees, stars, eagles, you get the idea...
like the snowball little quilt too!
yes I am glad you didn't throw out the pink and green quilt
too cute!

You have such fun projects going! Busy girl!
ReplyDeleteLori.. that's what's going on!! I wondered why there were so many design wall photos!!
ReplyDeleteYours looks like you have many finishes in progress...what great incentives.
It looks like everyone has the same idea I have for your log cabin it could be thematic for a medallion log cabin quilt.. many possibilites for a great block. Can't wait to see what you have in store for next Monday
