So, while the blocks are not wonky at all, they are a bit eccentric. In a good way!
Monday is Family Day, so I'll have three days to make some progress on my projects. I'm looking forward to getting dug in with the 19th Century Reds. I need to quilt the lab quilt, as Lindsay reminded me in a comment on the last post. I also need to clear the decks of my remaining blocks for the two other bees I'm participating in. One of those is the dreaded New York Beauty, for Jennifer. I'm experiencing a clear case of approach-avoidance with that one. I want to try it, but I'm utterly intimidated by the spiky points and the curves. I'm sure there's no way I'll get all of this done, but it will be very satisfying to make a start. What about you? What are you doing this long weekend?

Great photos! I'm just waiting for the sun to come out a little more to take a photo outside myself. I love your eccentric log cabins!
wonderful log cabin blocks and I like the material put together this way! great picture taking, makes me long for spring!
on NYB's, remember to use lots of pins, I sew over mine, check seam lines when sewing the outer arcs. meaning, look where your point is and be very careful to sew exactly at that point!
hope this helps! enjoy the weekend and hope you gets everything accomplished that you want to!
Very pretty colors; I love these fabrics!
Lucky you with your long weekend. I hope I can pack enough sewing into 2 days. :)
Wow, pretty fabics and beautiful log cabin blocks.
Great log cabin blocks, Lesly!
For the weekend, I have a baby quilt I need to start working on for a coworker who is due next month. I'm going to use whatever I can find in my stash. I also have plenty of unfinished projects I ought to get going on.
Family Day? Aren't you out East? I thought it was only an Alberta holiday?
Those are beautiful blocks! I'm envious of your amazing place to take photos. Beautiful.
i'm also a bit scared about the NYB, but for me it's finding a good pattern that comes as a 7" block. I found great ones at 8", but i don't trust myself to scale it down..
Gorgeous blocks and I particularly like the way they are photographed against the wood.
Those blocks are so great! I love the eccentric look!
I love your fabrics, so pretty to use in a logcabin!
love your blocks, love your blog, love your love for your country and home..
