On the design wall.....

I finished making all of the 4.5" log cabin blocks (finishing at 4" square), 1/2" finished logs.  I started working on these at the same time I was doing those scrappy churndash blocks.  They are all made from recycled shirts!  All 418 of them!  :o)


They don't fit on my design wall all at once, so I'll have to do the laying out in a couple of sections.  It's 19x22 blocks.

I just LOVE this layout!  And of the 3 different layouts I had up on the wall yesterday, it's the one that hubby picked!  Yay!  :o)

Have a great week!

    This is beautiful. I started piecing with men's shirts just a while ago. I've never seen a shirt quilt I didn't like, but log cabin blocks are one of my favorites!!

    Interesting that you used recycled shirts for the blocks. They look good. I like log cabin designs....just about any layout.
