scrappy log cabin mini

 This is a 12 x 12 tabletopper (candlemat placemat) I finished this week....
I have a lot of strips I cut with my GO cutter of really old fabrics and some newer fabrics too...

 I did straight quilting starting with the first block next to the center and just kept going around in a
continuous line.  I used varigated thread.

 The back is Susan Winget fabric from many years ago....

 I made some more blocks and will probably make a quilt of these blocks with sashing...

 Another one....these are 12 ½" blocks unfinished....

In this block I am just going to continue adding more to it.....
So easy and so fun........
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Linking to Linky Party Tuesday, finish it up Friday and Link a Finish Friday

5 by 5 blue mini

 I finished this little 12½ square quilt yesterday...
I used varigated thread of blue and pink to quilt it....
I have a lot of fabrics that I am trying to use and not just sit...
AND these fabrics I purchased almost 20 years ago!
I have been cutting strips of my old fabrics with my GO.....
I have blogged before about these little squares and 4 patches.

 I have collections of Susan Winget panels that I purchased long ago!

 I really like her designs and decided I would use this piece as the back...

Since I finished these yesterday I will add to finish it up Friday and Link a Finish Friday.

Will also link to Linky Tuesday.

Rancher's Daughter Quilt Along blocks 2 through 5

I blogged on February 3rd about the first block I did in the quilt along

that is going on at The Scrappy Appleyard....

 I started using Once Upon a Christmas fabric by Susan Winget.......

 I used that fabric in the first three blocks.....

 For the fourth block I switched to Star of Wonder fabric by Nancy Halvorsen....

The fifth block is back to Susan Winget fabric.....
I am linking to John'aLee's blog with the blocks I have done so far....
There is also a flickr group with photos...
Join in this fun quilt along....it isn't too late to start...
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Rancher's Daughter Quilt Along first block

John'aLee at the scrappy appleyard is having a quilt along....

I decided to use this bundle of Once Upon a Christmas by Susan Winget in the blocks....

There is something about a bundle of fabric that you just have to love...
It was hard taking it apart..............crazy I know....

Trying out the center block and the first piece I chose was too dark...

I did a fussy cut of a poinsetta.....

So the first block is done and I am adding this to her linky party blog post....

Come on and join us...it will be fun.....

She has posted four blocks already....It is not too late to still join....

I have a button on my sidebar that links to her quilt along...

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
