After a couple weeks of delays and no pattern I finally decided I needed to work on a different design.. The pattern finally arrived - having traveled coast to coast and finally back to me. Whew! What a trip! This was challenge one for me.</p><p>So I decided to go ahead with this pattern. But - I wanted to make this a wall size quilt. The pattern gives directions for three sizes which is really nice. The sizes are Queen, Twin and Lap. No wall size, so I had to reduce the pattern sizes. This was challenge two for me.</p><p>Next I had to decide which teals to use from my stack. The teals are beautiful but come in a range of sort of blue teals and green tint teals. I picked 5 of the blue/teals to work with. This was challenge 3.</p><p>Next I had to decide the lily colors. I loved the blue and yellows used in the pattern, but yellow just didn't work with the teals I picked out. After trying several different colors I finally decided on a light peach. I didn't like the peach with blues on either side like in the pattern, so I auditioned more fabrics and finally picked a darker peach/orange for the inner petals on the lily. Now what to use for the center of the lily. More pulling fabric and auditioning colors. I finally picked an even darker peach/orange fabric that had little blue dots. Whew- that was a lot of thinking and experimenting. Challenge 4 and 5!</p><p>By now I was not excited about this quilt and all the time it had taken. Not fun to work on a project you aren't in love with, but I plugged along. Not any photos at this point due to frustration and so many fabric pulls.</p><p>I made the flying geese with paper piecing and I added the peach colors in the outside rows like in the pattern and I liked that.</p><p>When I got to making the lilies I just didn't like using the blue teals for the petals under the lilies. It was too light and looked washed out. More auditioning and looking at all the teals in my stack package. I finally picked out a greenish teal for the petal leaves and a very dark green/teal for the stem and stamens. Another challenge! Am I up to 6 challenges now?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_XPVOj5Y5xNvZCi_jPFY_y5ajHTYvsM5n0ZggH4I3KTzj7ndlNzEQPFyLUWJgBnFzs64YhJLc69NrvK9rXA1PpWWJq9wMhajHHEdV7hjwg4Zny6x1eqFJdt4LzphxLrynB7Rt8AODi1UhHzhqOwhjU94RNrcOgc4PzzVRLMc_7ggaxSmXMm3sqdEsIQDH/s2576/20240313_205658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="2576" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_XPVOj5Y5xNvZCi_jPFY_y5ajHTYvsM5n0ZggH4I3KTzj7ndlNzEQPFyLUWJgBnFzs64YhJLc69NrvK9rXA1PpWWJq9wMhajHHEdV7hjwg4Zny6x1eqFJdt4LzphxLrynB7Rt8AODi1UhHzhqOwhjU94RNrcOgc4PzzVRLMc_7ggaxSmXMm3sqdEsIQDH/w640-h480/20240313_205658.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>The stems and stamens were fusible applique.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1c5oLUOzt43TB5sfIpQ_qclggetvTd9tHPXPQBsK098PIcSarjr1nA6zl4Es_zrkXIg-xi4H805IePJGI7wpz6wAbgpJpsXuw1AeP5UZTR0_GM573D6dVRNvffjmSaFYaVbZgy_MWLno9Lodo-C5NPL-9WuouoKUcAOVJ26EKCsPiEC30cLnq58xNluQ/s2576/20240307_091711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1932" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1c5oLUOzt43TB5sfIpQ_qclggetvTd9tHPXPQBsK098PIcSarjr1nA6zl4Es_zrkXIg-xi4H805IePJGI7wpz6wAbgpJpsXuw1AeP5UZTR0_GM573D6dVRNvffjmSaFYaVbZgy_MWLno9Lodo-C5NPL-9WuouoKUcAOVJ26EKCsPiEC30cLnq58xNluQ/w300-h400/20240307_091711.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p>I used a solid white Island Batik for the background so the colors would pop, and added buttons to the flowers instead of appliqueing so many circles.

There are just so many ways you can create with a log cabin block.</span></div><p>I was sent a beautiful collection to work with called <a href="https://islandbatik.com/">Squiggles, Dots and Lines</a> by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design. This is a lovely collection with blues, greens and purples. Island Batik also sent extra yardage from the collection- one light and dark that could be used in my project. This is a Fall 2023 collection and is in stores now.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYI8d5d2oSbD5eNdAilhdJCVw3JBjASJq7_0uJpWwYC_eM-ubzmm7m9bzYYP6tgbKdKgsLnrLQJRLeb9F1qogtPmwIqypdMeSnKfGgH5pdNtOTOk5vB7dog_3wyx81WjeAcJe2JCH8-uxE1iqd_k3wT08zY92OFNHJItJjvEFgWk8OQrJ9xVdfJyIfpOPg/s3300/Squiggles,%20Dots%20and%20Lines%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3300" data-original-width="2550" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYI8d5d2oSbD5eNdAilhdJCVw3JBjASJq7_0uJpWwYC_eM-ubzmm7m9bzYYP6tgbKdKgsLnrLQJRLeb9F1qogtPmwIqypdMeSnKfGgH5pdNtOTOk5vB7dog_3wyx81WjeAcJe2JCH8-uxE1iqd_k3wT08zY92OFNHJItJjvEFgWk8OQrJ9xVdfJyIfpOPg/w494-h640/Squiggles,%20Dots%20and%20Lines%20(1).jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Here's a photo of my bundle.

I picked out a solid Island Batik called Fuchsia for the center blocks- it went really well with all the colors in the collection. There are 22 fabrics in this collection and I decided to use all of them except the white for this project.</p><p> My first design used both of the two light blue fabrics for the first row around the square, but I found out I didn't have enough of one fabric after starting all the blocks! After putting it aside for a night I decided to just save the partial blocks to make a row on the back because I knew I was going to have to piece the backing. Problem solved! You do have to be creative sometimes!</p><p>I made each block with one light blue fabric on the first row and the other light blue fabric on the second row which makes one half of the block all light blue. The other side of the block is a mix of the rest of the fabrics. All the fabrics look good with the fuchsia as the center block.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNX1RN3mqeeDAL2hor7lXotljJd1Med6K0FauJXTCq77P8O3HG-7aYydhsiOOolzWAxNr8QqCbrmQGTg9oUuOL1Hu82YzuYcP1WAz-otw4Hr00GR1pUziwdu5LVKPKrlJuktwLXSEr4o1AegWVDElZIa5Rzil2JNXcPVDju6mMqlf1XrON6oRPi2ay_ZzL/s2576/20240123_094847.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1932" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNX1RN3mqeeDAL2hor7lXotljJd1Med6K0FauJXTCq77P8O3HG-7aYydhsiOOolzWAxNr8QqCbrmQGTg9oUuOL1Hu82YzuYcP1WAz-otw4Hr00GR1pUziwdu5LVKPKrlJuktwLXSEr4o1AegWVDElZIa5Rzil2JNXcPVDju6mMqlf1XrON6oRPi2ay_ZzL/w300-h400/20240123_094847.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p>I used <a href="https://www.hobbsbatting.com/">Hobbs </a>black 80/20 cotton batting since most of the fabrics were dark.

It’s a delightful challenge inspired by an enduring favorite in the quilting world. The versatility of the Log Cabin block offers endless creative possibilities. Will our Ambassadors opt for the graceful curves, geometric precision of triangles, whimsical wonky designs, celestial star motifs, innovative twists, or stick with the timeless classic? With boundless imagination and skill, our Ambassadors are poised to showcase a diverse array of interpretations. The sky truly is the limit as we start on this captivating adventure!</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><div class="wp-block-image" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; display: table; margin: 0px auto;"><a href="https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner.jpg" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" class="wp-image-75399" decoding="async" height="512" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 92vw, 512px" src="https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-1024x1024.jpg" srcset="https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-300x300.jpg 300w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-150x150.jpg 150w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-768x768.jpg 768w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-70x70.jpg 70w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-25x25.jpg 25w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-123x123.jpg 123w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-80x80.jpg 80w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-120x120.jpg 120w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-200x200.jpg 200w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-500x500.jpg 500w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner-100x100.jpg 100w, https://islandbatik.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Log-Cabin-Square-Banner.jpg 1600w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%; transform: translateZ(0px); vertical-align: bottom;" width="512" /></a></figure></div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Over the next four weeks of the Log Cabin Blog Hop, we will be showcasing incredible quilts featuring the fabric from our latest collections that will start appearing in fabric stores this month.

We love her bag patterns. We get to choose the fabrics we like and the bag pattern that we want to make. What fun! This is week 3 for the It's In The Bag! Blog Hop. I hope you've been following along and seeing what all the Ambassadors are making.</p><p>This year I let my husband decide what bag I should make. He decided on the In Control pattern. This is a sturdy caddy with lots of pockets and dividers. I let him choose the <a href="https://islandbatik.com/">Island Batik</a> fabrics too, and he picked out three colors from the new Summer 2023 Red. White and Blooms Collection. He will use it to hold miscellaneous things by the sofa where he sits. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgriCSKkJSDuFGBUvFW5cPofyNFhCO2zsofSd3agbJpGLwmh4ZG6KMWc0x_HsogcvwQA-R2f-koLkC7XOWSp_7kH1vNP9EQgNiabjwiczUSoi4AH-jrSL41GXQ4EminawtTcpNBTZ74-g8vZ1QYhU6Z7NQNwAA8i6YZEdCxo62qgqWi50x3r0_rO-c1JJ25" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="310" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgriCSKkJSDuFGBUvFW5cPofyNFhCO2zsofSd3agbJpGLwmh4ZG6KMWc0x_HsogcvwQA-R2f-koLkC7XOWSp_7kH1vNP9EQgNiabjwiczUSoi4AH-jrSL41GXQ4EminawtTcpNBTZ74-g8vZ1QYhU6Z7NQNwAA8i6YZEdCxo62qgqWi50x3r0_rO-c1JJ25=w413-h640" width="413" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Red, White and Blooms collection is lovely. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhISNc9s4B2UJ7-vODWAwQAfubGPfvxewVJRm-QQG-5ML5GHdUKDFKidnQhyphenhyphen8LBSxkrZRQQr5DIqGkGBSGWmLuQ4C0XCRE5j3HUPMzxCfk9gsJW6ozeyia_pLBLcoHCV84hHN2LxZmW0oKeyNli87FFc7mE2otHed-HScrz0HRTWFFmbO6La0JVnZ7DaZno/s900/Red%20White%20and%20Blooms%20fabrics.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhISNc9s4B2UJ7-vODWAwQAfubGPfvxewVJRm-QQG-5ML5GHdUKDFKidnQhyphenhyphen8LBSxkrZRQQr5DIqGkGBSGWmLuQ4C0XCRE5j3HUPMzxCfk9gsJW6ozeyia_pLBLcoHCV84hHN2LxZmW0oKeyNli87FFc7mE2otHed-HScrz0HRTWFFmbO6La0JVnZ7DaZno/w512-h640/Red%20White%20and%20Blooms%20fabrics.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp38MWZ0_v-8vAsVvV5KuSmxnKpdEFdZs4v28fQ8JkW1A0_Y0KocNHMfGNa5B-0bsmrVR4acfC2ThOjuwLtNvfjfRT3nOE4vpKjefgCFNR51qRnbxFp74MaomClTbAX592eUEL9eC_zzDeyv1vAUigeNmtjONB5tkeFo329yuZzORzgl5ytTq7NP0WuKu_/s1932/20230816_075138.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="1845" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp38MWZ0_v-8vAsVvV5KuSmxnKpdEFdZs4v28fQ8JkW1A0_Y0KocNHMfGNa5B-0bsmrVR4acfC2ThOjuwLtNvfjfRT3nOE4vpKjefgCFNR51qRnbxFp74MaomClTbAX592eUEL9eC_zzDeyv1vAUigeNmtjONB5tkeFo329yuZzORzgl5ytTq7NP0WuKu_/w613-h640/20230816_075138.jpg" width="613" /></a></div><p><a href="https://www.byannie.com/patterns">By Annie</a> sends all the materials needed to make the project. For this project they sent the pattern, Soft and Stable, 2 sets of metal Nickel rings, single slide handbag zipper, webbing and Fusible Interfacing. <a href="https://islandbatik.com/">Island Batik</a> sent the fabrics. It's a project bundle all ready to go! </p><p>You can also see the three fabrics my husband picked for the bag.</p><p>When we got the box with everything in July- it was hard to wait until November to make it! In fact I couldn't wait! I had some free time and made my little bag early.</p><p>Last year I made the bag called Catch All Caddy. In Control is almost the same as Catch All Caddy, only a little smaller. My husband liked the smaller bag for his needs. I can see using this smaller size bag for many things.</p><p>By Annie's patterns are very good. They go carefully step by step and also most patterns have a free Add - On Video included which help if you are more of a visual learner. I find them very helpful.</p><p>Here is a photo of all my pieces cut with a label for each piece.

It's a BOB or Block on Board die- meaning all the pieces you need to make the design are all on this one die.</p><p></p><p>The original North Carolina Star block has 33 blocks. There are many Y seams in the block that can be challenging- so Accuquilt decided to simplify the block by making it with no Y seams. That's great and much simpler to sew. HOWEVER - now the block has 53 pieces instead of 33! Wow- that's a lot of pieces! It also creates a challenge in pressing where many of the seams come together.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxXsSAB1MRCFTm1j2nr7iS_liC_MtFdqylSiAkL2n9T8mpxUQsliVWNSsPVeTrPKjcI8fD2MIqwbeiUv19iucjAXg-0DbhaqqZKGF_nFJmTA6ptHcPGS_ubljW0dOboP6ZhT7TLoST07qYF0NgbSLub_N5YEHC_yhSG16i4CDh0GEW5fQlRUzdfOVdA/s1367/20230606_111053.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1321" data-original-width="1367" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxXsSAB1MRCFTm1j2nr7iS_liC_MtFdqylSiAkL2n9T8mpxUQsliVWNSsPVeTrPKjcI8fD2MIqwbeiUv19iucjAXg-0DbhaqqZKGF_nFJmTA6ptHcPGS_ubljW0dOboP6ZhT7TLoST07qYF0NgbSLub_N5YEHC_yhSG16i4CDh0GEW5fQlRUzdfOVdA/w400-h386/20230606_111053.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>So- it's an interesting block to make. It's a very lovely block, but I personally wasn't excited about all the pieces created with the die. Our challenge also encourages us to use the die in alternate ways, so I decided to design something a bit different.</p><p>I made a table runner that is 12" x 27". It will fit great on top of a quilt display cabinet I have. I made both of the side units as shown on the diagram above. The top and bottom sections I took off the corner A piece.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9_JUjShTEvWaA__f038XR_fXkujOrMB2aUgBJZQLM7pCtpvuO5AgVuvl8N8Ve8FFiLOv6fRnGVtsBAf8uEkQfdrbrdFug1pNf3dBbQnKnzW8Ld4sLoa7kbtS1rHoj0kO01Pup_zWn2tVkclXIXAqZNPbwFbIAas-2L6hRbZZCoj05NvruvjMWwc_zQ/s2576/20230601_142131.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1932" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9_JUjShTEvWaA__f038XR_fXkujOrMB2aUgBJZQLM7pCtpvuO5AgVuvl8N8Ve8FFiLOv6fRnGVtsBAf8uEkQfdrbrdFug1pNf3dBbQnKnzW8Ld4sLoa7kbtS1rHoj0kO01Pup_zWn2tVkclXIXAqZNPbwFbIAas-2L6hRbZZCoj05NvruvjMWwc_zQ/w300-h400/20230601_142131.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p>Where I changed things is with the center units.

Instead of the white color in the collection, I used the light bluish/gray fabric they sent in yardage - Rice from the Foundations as I needed more of the lighter color. The two other fabrics I didn't use I'll be giving away in a drawing at the end of this post.</div><p>I decided on this block pattern because of the good contrast in light and dark fabrics in the collection.</p><p>I like to do paper piecing, so this is the way I decided to go. I usually work very small in my paper piecing, but I wanted to showcase the fabrics so I decided to work with a larger block size. My main block is 6" finished with only four sections. For the middle border I took the same block and made it half size - 3" finished. This is more like the size I like to work with. I really like how these blocks worked in the border. This is a simple block to paper piece.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJjAsSfCaWP2zWh9P9x0iMxoUVnLdSqh9vwl3bJSW42b9x3neChkNN-mlMhd8GC1fP5QATCZJs7lelN-6_hgQBRy45nF7utMWSBK8SlRKj4s-V6FfQ0GV4U84ACl-sY6MHIXHFOQdZ1VFH45uLS_6gZJQ0muLUglwkjND6WnpxSuba_b97XfRjF6NNXoI/s2576/20230629_201910.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="2576" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJjAsSfCaWP2zWh9P9x0iMxoUVnLdSqh9vwl3bJSW42b9x3neChkNN-mlMhd8GC1fP5QATCZJs7lelN-6_hgQBRy45nF7utMWSBK8SlRKj4s-V6FfQ0GV4U84ACl-sY6MHIXHFOQdZ1VFH45uLS_6gZJQ0muLUglwkjND6WnpxSuba_b97XfRjF6NNXoI/s320/20230629_201910.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Here are a couple works in progress photos.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLenjALPU9JC34Y2ibHv0g9KAqZHMxYuPIgIn5kFPFSVTmIMy8xKCjVMmWRpLa7aQbh3zk4dNFK13Dw7PdkgwQ1R39wSXZSrPYGHH5sWpdlX31ZSUsSMrbq3WGqd5XNFwqHdhRZ6Pot3jQrPLnArrEtO2tMM_9taoUCKbgi-3AHrdEPVsOiEHDwbImyyRw/s2576/20230701_110940.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1932" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLenjALPU9JC34Y2ibHv0g9KAqZHMxYuPIgIn5kFPFSVTmIMy8xKCjVMmWRpLa7aQbh3zk4dNFK13Dw7PdkgwQ1R39wSXZSrPYGHH5sWpdlX31ZSUsSMrbq3WGqd5XNFwqHdhRZ6Pot3jQrPLnArrEtO2tMM_9taoUCKbgi-3AHrdEPVsOiEHDwbImyyRw/w300-h400/20230701_110940.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMwLMdXJI4H8gb0_eaX8fu74LQbpuLEaGjRSdPa9HHtoQMd-gEO543DlAyOVi9BKGzNbS-kHxVyLF1_UXPVM4DqKhDbuzx8kHs-57n4-fWDcuXFosDEgo_WSSA82wpZ9-xHKDC41uI7WvofRV5kLb7Nej-Q6CdF39iO5en1xiibHW-L7s0vA1lJEHEkn-f/s2576/20230703_104740.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1932" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMwLMdXJI4H8gb0_eaX8fu74LQbpuLEaGjRSdPa9HHtoQMd-gEO543DlAyOVi9BKGzNbS-kHxVyLF1_UXPVM4DqKhDbuzx8kHs-57n4-fWDcuXFosDEgo_WSSA82wpZ9-xHKDC41uI7WvofRV5kLb7Nej-Q6CdF39iO5en1xiibHW-L7s0vA1lJEHEkn-f/w300-h400/20230703_104740.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One thing I like about this block design is that it gives an optical illusion.

You can quilt in any way you want. The only challenging part is about how to quilt where the pockets are. You just need to quilt inside the pocket as far as you can go. This adds a bit of a challenge to your quilting, but you can do it.</p><p>Here are some pictures of how I did the quilting. It was fun to do a variety of quilting designs.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzzT3ka4XBUA2TI2xKrmiu22bCfBNNC-ZY8ZPeyWX3b5BfbGojNDXZl1G3ZC0vMu2yFpIbzjtgawND2Tx5hL_6ZjuL7rrUZn6gY5DN-J80C_BSN-bXl3rQlpL21jDwUVxIzSC54ZYrI7RYw9ioCRtL9wXeH01caDXOoWFR2fktb9Ea4RhMe-jw5PSK9A/s2576/20221107_142921.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I found it helpful to sometimes put a small dab of Elmers glue on the back of the buttons and place them where I wanted them and then sewed them on. Especially places like the flower boxes where the buttons were in specific places. The glue holds them in place until you can get them sewn on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Last, sew on the binding and a hanging sleeve. You might want to personalize the quilt with a label on the back.

This is the first time they've sent the dark gray and it will be great to work with. </p><p> On the right is a 10" stack of the collection called Vintage Charm. This is a lovely assortment of springy colors with some touches of white. They included 2 yards of light and dark fabrics to coordinate with the Vintage Charm. The dark fabric is from the Precious Pinks Foundation fabrics and is called Sangria. The light pink is also from the Precious Pinks Foundation fabrics and is called Tea Rose. Such great names!</p><p>The three packages of rolls of fabric are their Stash Builder Rolls. These rolls are a great way to add variety to your fabric collection. Each roll has four strips of fabric that are 5" by width of fabric. There is 2.8 yards in each package.</p><p>Many thanks again to Island Batik!</p>Connie Kauffmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11026842594685929648noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449865511832205573.post-87007430174177507432023-08-09T08:00:00.001-04:002023-08-09T08:00:00.149-04:00 It''s All Up To You - August Island Batik Challenge<p><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJfiySCQSFqYfvxO8qviJf7CqkZCnS9KNVu6n0GkcMhSlh3HcLxfeqXQTZ82ceiOZtsDqG5ETMj9WFbv2v0S7SurvHzK-QmZDRNs1-7do9ute7mrDkfgdaE7klgU3zrc7gC3YUWVFotGpRHUFXfXr-M9aMK6cGUwMTIYN52q0hrWbDDC8t7h6QGd0gmEJ/s1624/20230121_173513.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1624" data-original-width="1566" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJfiySCQSFqYfvxO8qviJf7CqkZCnS9KNVu6n0GkcMhSlh3HcLxfeqXQTZ82ceiOZtsDqG5ETMj9WFbv2v0S7SurvHzK-QmZDRNs1-7do9ute7mrDkfgdaE7klgU3zrc7gC3YUWVFotGpRHUFXfXr-M9aMK6cGUwMTIYN52q0hrWbDDC8t7h6QGd0gmEJ/w618-h640/20230121_173513.jpg" width="618" /></a></span></div><p></p><div><div><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> Love Those Scraps! or A Lot a Littles!</span></div><div><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>33" x 39"</div><div><p>The month of August is a free month for the Island Batik Ambassadors.

I had tons of little squares and also tons of triangles. What to do with them? They are just to pretty to throw out. I found a block design I liked that Bonnie Hunter has used that had 2 nine patch blocks and two half square triangle blocks. I decided to make nine patch blocks and half square triangle blocks and work on the layout later.
