In mid-November, I found a downloadable quilt pattern called
Warmth of Our Stars. I liked its scrappy look. I figured I could make the 88x88”
top using mostly Riley Blake Confetti Cottons leftover from other projects. It
calls for 4 1/2 yards of white/background fabric, which I don’t have. But I do
have almost 2 yards, and I’m sure I can find a couple more that match somewhere.
I quickly whipped up a dozen log cabin blocks to get started. But when I’d
finished them, I realized I’d started them all wrong. The “logs” in the pattern
were 2” finished, and mine were 2” cut. My blocks were still 12”,
but the outside “logs” were white, not colored. This will change the finished
design, and not in a good way. So, now I’m ripping out every single seam in all
twelve log cabin blocks. Maybe this will teach me to read patterns more
carefully.
