It's February! That means another UFO to finish!
APQ UFO Challenge for this month, is #9. For me, that means 'Log Cabin Blocks #2'.
There are so many possible patterns for a log cabin quilt, difficult to choose. I had to decide, and ended up with this:
When you are reading this, I've already pieced together these blocks and a few more. I started working on these scrappy log cabin blocks in March 2016! The idea was to make one block each day. It worked pretty well the first 3-4 months, but then I got bored. Last year I did some blocks off and on and the result is now 122 blocks! (8 inch sewn into quilt). I think I have enough blocks for a double/full bed quilt, yet to calculate.
My little helper! I just had to go away when he came to 'help', because I know what he would have done; 'killed' the blocks or made a mess out of the block layout!!! This time he behaved! LOL
Since my previous post, I've been working on another UFO and a couple of Easter Table Runners
I've added another row to this scrappy quilt. It needs another row to make it a decent size.
These hip chicks are soon to be listed in my shop. I've left to hand sew the binding and add 'eyes' to the chicks.
Oh, and I almost forgot
Last year I got a custom order for 24 Norwegian Flag Mug Rugs!!!
I ran out of red for the flag as well as backing fabric and had to order more. The backing fabric was sold out from where I usually buy fabrics so I had to hunt for it. I found a seller and the package was caught up in the Christmas Mail Rush. I finally got the package about 2 weeks ago and was able to finish the last 3 mug rugs. The mug rugs are now on the way to the US! Thank you Mark!
In between sewing and rain, we managed to do a little bit in the overgrown garden last week. I was thinking I do some weeding today, but it's already hot and stuffy. Better stay inside and work on the log cabin UFO!
HAPPY QUILTING!

I love seeing your projects and how they progress.
That's a bummer you had to wait so long for the extra fabric to arrive. Bet you're glad that project is now done and out the door! You are making an excellent dent in your scraps. It's great to see them all come together :)
your mug rugs are so nice and colorful! a set of 24 means they were needed for a party maybe? I love your scrappy quilts so nice
Love the layout of your log cabin blocks. Love also your little helper. So adorable! I'm in love. ;^)
Great work on the log cabin and the coin stack quilt tops. You have been busy.
The chicks look gorgeous.
And love the pile of flag mug rugs. An unusual order.
