LOG CABIN BLOCKS

Oh my!  These are said to be easy, but personally, I found them to be monotonous!  (Sorry Grandma for making you make me one of these back in 1998!)  I personally like things that come together a little quicker and have the gratification of a finished product a bit sooner.  With these, the cutting AND the sewing took what felt like an eternity!  Thankfully, my mom helped me cut the darks, so I only had to cut 1/2!  She rocks! 

Nonetheless, my quilt block of the month class required us to make them!  36 of them!  At this point, I have 28 done...and 8 more to go.  Once I have them done, the count for the entire quilt will be at...57 done, 7 more!  I feel the end is near!  What an exciting accomplishment!

Just a side note, I am pretty excited that you can see the variation of shade (dark center diamond, lighter corners edges!) when the blocks are laid out together.  When I was looking at them individually, it was hard to see!  Phew!

This is actually what the corners will look like...! Lighter stripe through the centers of the corners!  So cool!
