Quilt (Crazy log cabin) this is for my G/D's 11th birthday It has been made with leftover scraps of p/work fabric . I just came across a youtube video of this crazy log cabin quilt and thought what a good way to use up leftovers I started cutting and 5 days later I have enough for 4 or more quilts looks like I will be busy for awhile.

I love your quilt...I also love scrap quilts. I have one in progress now similar to the one I posted here. I made one a long time back in the log cabin style...Keep up the good work and make another one of scraps.

I checked out her video and liked it too. I can't see making that many pin holes in my wall wall but I like the idea of bagging the sizes. I guess you could figure out how many you needed for as many blocks as you wanted to make. You must have been a cutting machine for those days! I wonder how much bigger it would be if you used the 2.5 inch strips ... will figure that out later. I really like your sashing and corner stones. Looks like some interesting fabrics too! Thanks for sharing this.

I did not make any pinholes in my wall either I tried stick tape but the bags got too heavy and fell off I ended up putting them in plastic containers dividing them into 2 sections and labelling them worked well...soozie

Oh my, you are fast on the peddle - wll we used to have pedals! Lol! It is gorgeous! Do you pick the colors before hand or do all your scaps just balance themselves in the quilt.

No not so fast the cutting took 5 days and I keep finding more leftovers to cut the colors just seem to fall into place with just a little sorting it turned out really big almost a King size........soozie

Lovely - thanks for sharing this with me. I have found that if you have a few minutes to spare - Make a square ! Another quilt will be ready before you know it.

so true the cutting out takes most of the time the actual sewing of one block takes abut 10 minutes...soozie
