Design Wall Monday: Fractured Log Cabin

I finally finished the quilting on the fractured log cabin blocks.  This really should not have taken much time at all to do. . . and it wouldn't have if I had not been getting up every line to go blog hopping, inspiration searching, designing, cleaning (OK not much of that LOL) and every other thing I could think of to do besides finish quilting those blocks!  I am doing this QAYG so this project is not over. . . but it needs to be put aside so I can quilt the triangle top. . . I had it in my mind that I had two weeks to quilt it. . . and maybe I would have if I had not wasted so much time not quilting the fractured log cabin. . . but it needs to be done quilted and bound bound by May 3rd. Hmm, now that I think about that - it is totally doable LOL 

OK, word light and the pictures aren't the greatest.  I hung a piece of batting on my outside brick wall. . . and then pinned the blocks to it.  It is better than taking pictures in my house and you get the idea :)

The sun was so bright I couldn't see that the top was cut off in the camera!

Yup, I used my Fine Line Ruler and FM foot.  Check out those straight lines :)

See, it really should not have taken and entire week to quilt these blocks!!!

One more picture just cuz :)
OK, off to make a triangle quilt sandwich and keep this train moving down the track!! 

Linking up with Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday and Stitch by Stitch for Anything Goes Monday.  I will likely be linking up with more, just depends on how many sneaky peeks I'm going to give you of the quilting on the triangles ;) 

Until next time, keep on quilting!

  3. So colorful and fun! I still haven't tried the Quilt as you Go method. My mom swears by it, but I'm intimidated by it. I don't know why. I loved your idea of pinning blocks to a batting to take outside pictures--the lighting is so much better than indoors.
