Stacy's Cabin

 


Two years ago, I was gifted a kit to make a 65x 85” sampler quilt called Blessed Beyond Measure by Buttermilk Basin for Riley Blake. The pattern had instructions to make about a dozen 12” finished quilt blocks (several were duplicates). I used it to make thirty 12” individual blocks, and then purchased extra fabric for sashing, cornerstones, border, back and binding. The finished quilt came to about 85x95”. But there was still a LOT of fabric left over. Without any end product in mind, I started using the scraps for more 12” blocks. (I like to use scraps when I experiment. If the block is a failure, I don’t mind much.) Then, I discovered a Roly Poly (a collection of 2 1/2" x 42" strips) from the same fabric line. Before I knew it, I had nearly two dozen red-and-black log cabin blocks, and just as many other blocks to stick between them. Another quilt!
