If you look closely in this picture you will see the fabric used in this pile of UFOs - and of more importance, most of the UFOs in this picture are now completed.
This log cabin has 'hidden' stars in it. By adding half square triangles and squares in a plain colour to some of the outer logs you end up with stars in the corners that is provided you put the right shapes in the right places...lol.
My quilt top has 16 x 12 1/2" squares so I needed to make 4 x 4 of each star block so that it would go together the correct way.
After a shaky star (I put the first one in on the wrong corner) I go into the swing and at long last have now finished all of the different blocks.
I have even now joined up two rows so things are really looking good. Hopefully tomorrow or early next week I will have all four rows joined and then joined together.
The hardest part (after making sure I did the starry bits in the right places) is making sure all the points of my stars join where they are supposed to, so far they haven't been too bad; fingers crossed the rest go okay as well.
I am thinking of doing the outer border in some of the aubergine coloured fabric - I have enough left but it will have to be different patterns on each side. I will do a trial run to see if it looks okay.
Hopefully it will and that will mean I won't have to go to the local patchwork shop to buy fabric. Lets face it we all know what happens as soon as we walk inside a fabric shop - there is just no way on earth you can walk out with just the fabric you went into the shop for ..... rotfl!
UPDATE: - Finished it!
