Why?  Why has it taken me so long to figure out how to piece a log cabin quilt block?  I’ve loved it for years and I’ve collected fabric scraps just as long.  But the day has finally come – I’ve figured it out and this pattern has been mastered.  It’s totally simple and such a great technique for beginning quilters.  You can only imagine how many more quilts will follow in a similar fashion.

Okay, you can probably tell that I’m pretty excited about this new skill.  I wanted to take a second to share my newest WIP and my first log cabin quilt.

I blew the budget on photo fabric because this is a very special project.  I scavenged my grandmother’s photo albums and selected 7 of my favourite snapshots.

This week I managed to print my fabric, cut my fabric strips and construct the quilt blocks.  Now I just have to find the perfect connecting fabric and I’m off to the races.  Have a look see at my progress so far!
