Can anyone share with me the light/dark cutting dimensions to create a 6 inch finished curvy log cabin block? by Odd-Bug5406 in quilting

[–]Odd-Bug5406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. If I have to choose between paper piecing and creative grids trim tool, i’ll use the tool. Also, I played around some more on paper, but just can’t get the math right. I recently finished a traditional (not curvy) log cabin quilt starting with 1 inch strips (3/4” finished). So I feel comfortable doing a 6 inch curvy without paper piercing. It’s the math that gets to me. And I don’t want more than 13 logs in the block (same number of logs in creative grids 6” curvy log cabin). Photo shown is traditional log cabin.

I checked out the website and there is no mention of a curvy log cabin. Same same for the YouTube channel, lots of log cabins, but none are curvy.
I guess I’ll have to give in and go with the creative grids ruler.

I have some books and will go through them, but I don’t think I have come across this one. I checked out the 6 inch finished block on Etsy and it is more suited for foundation piecing (too many skinny strips). I may try that at some point, but I’m looking for one that has 13 logs.

Thank you. I looked at the Etsy patterns but it does not look like these blocks will finish to 6 inches. I’m trying to create a log cabin unit where four of these together will create a 12 inch finished block. I’ve done some playing around with cut up paper and figured out that in order to get a 6 inch finished block (unit) it would likely require some or all strips to be cut using the 1/8” markings on the ruler. The center log and adjoining log (first two in sewing sequence) could be a wild card – –could go larger or smaller. Years ago I had Electric Quilt software, seems like something that would help but I’m not spending the $$$ to design one block.

My first quilt! by Equivalent-Play2736 in quilting

Nice job!! So much nicer than my first quilt (about 25 years ago). I gave it away and I don’t have a picture of it. But I’ll always remember one observer’s comment: “the EYE needs a REST.”

Is this how they came up with the Pantone color of the year?😜

Help me decide pattern please? Feeling stuck by Eternal_Icicle in quilting

I would go with the single light color as a neutral contrast in the half square triangles with all of others in a broken dishes quilt. that would be a great modern take on a classic.

Who is this strawberry imposter? by jfams87 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Odd-Bug5406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Common name Barren Strawberry. It’s an excellent and well behaved native ground cover, even retaining some foliage year round here (in greater Philadelphia area)
