My Favourite Quilt Block Blog Hop

My day on the My Favourite Quilt Blog Hop. I thought this would be an easy one to choose until I put some thought into it. There are so many I love a couple of times I thought I would feature my current project because often at the sewing stage it is my favourite. Then I thought what about the blocks I return to time after time for what ever reason I need a block, Four patch, half square triangles. How many have we made of them over the years?
In the end I decide the Log Cabin block is a my favourite. It has a number of different layouts and depending on how you use it some times it doesn't even look like a log cabin block.
This is my first log cabin quilt and my all time favourite.

 The blocks are 6 inch and I hand pieced them as my take anyway project over a couple of years. It is full of my batik scraps and believe or not I still have some bags of precut strips left over.

Recently I was string piecing a bag of blue strips for another blog hop project and thought that is the end of the blue strips. Well I was wrong I found another bag of blue strips when I was looking for one of the other leftover colour strips for a bag project I wanted to try. Would you believe it? Do you think I use a lot of blue? lol

Make sure you visit everyone on the schedule as you never know what block might take your fancy to try or fall in love with.

September's One Monthly Goal

I am away on retreat for 3 days during September, so I am wondering about set myself a big goal for September. Do I risk it? I have to keep in mind I am in charge when on retreat, so am I really going to get as much sewing done as I think.
I did take a look at my unfinished projects list I posted back in January and was wondering about picking one of them to see if I can cross one of them off the list. I have been working on my Folk flower blocks that I started in an Anna Maria Horner workshop last year. Progress is happening on that front with a good amount of blocks made but that has been my hand piecing project lately. With the chance of good machine time should I choose something else.
In the end I have selected my Fractured Paintbox quilt. It is a Quiltworx pattern and I am halfway through the blocks. Only 24 blocks to go.


This is how the blocks go together. My goal is to complete all the blocks for this project.
I have linked my post with Elm Street Quilt post, so pop over and check out what everyone is working on.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching
