November is my turn for sending out bundles of fabric to fellow Bee Imaginative Block Swappers. Unfortunately I've tried hard to pretend that time was on my side, and now find myself bundling fabrics rather late.
Twelve bundles of fabric strips have been rotary cute, all in a red/white color palette with a splash of orange and pink, and they are just about ready for shipping. One bundle for each swap participant. All fabrics are from stash, which in itself is always satisfying.
The plan is for each fabric bundle to be sewn into a large scale log cabin block. I've made two log cabin blocks myself to gauge how much fabric to send. The blocks measure 15 1/2 inches as they are.
My vision is to eventually join these large blocks together separated by a wide strip of white sashing fabric. Eventhough log cabin blocks are a traditional design I do imagine that the overall look of the quilt will be modern, simple and fresh.
What a great table of strips! I love the inclusion of orange and pink. Just a touch makes the red even more interesting. Chunky log cabins, white sashing and awesome fabric, you are really talking my language!! : )
ReplyDeleteThose blocks will look great and very crisp. I look forward to seeing the finished quilt in the future!
ReplyDeleteIt really is all about the fabric selection.
ReplyDeleteYour choices never fail to impress!!
That is some awesome red, pink and orange stash Rita! It's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely eye for color and admirable courage!

ReplyDeleteEye popping freshness !! I love it
ReplyDeleteLove your Log Cabins they will look Great with the White strips...looking forward to seeing this one together...
ReplyDeletecheers
The combination of colours give a very soft feeling. I find it often difficult to use reds and oranges, as it often gives a very hard effect, even combined with whites.
ReplyDeleteAnyways. I think the squares are looking great!
Love them!
ReplyDeleteThat pile of fabrics looks yummy! You have a very good stash.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combinations.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how it all comes out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shot of those fabric strips! And, I can totally understand how fulfilling it was to pull them - all of them - from your stash.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics sure look yummy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the colors. Looking forward to seeing it all put together!
ReplyDeleteThe colors look great! The log cabin blocks are perfect and I love the addition of the pinks and oranges into the scheme, it really spices it up.
ReplyDeleteOhhh i love those colors!! Curious...what size did you make your strips on your log cabin to get that 15 1/2 in. block?
ReplyDeleteOh, Rita, what a fabulous color combination! Since I just painted the walls of my sewing room grey, wouldn't this look fabulous? I think so!
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of fabrics! The finished quilt will be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you already had all these fabrics, what an extensive collection! Lovely patterns and colours.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be stunning! I can't wait to see!
