Our daughter, Kelli, was home over the weekend. Â She brought with her Quilt Square Quilt Along blocks. Â Her blocks are different than mine and I thought I would show you what they look like. Â Here’s her first block featuring a modern look.
Kelli needed a wedding shower gift. Â The couple’s wedding colors are black, white and lime. Â Kelli made this and is turning it into a candle mat. Â She’s giving a white candle along with it as a gift. Â I just thought you might appreciate seeing one of the blocks with a modern look.
Kelli wanted a block for herself too so she made a Civil War print version featuring blues and neutrals.
I love them both. Â This is such a fun block.
In my mailbox I got a package from Country Threads. Â Inside was a 24 piece fat eighths bundle roll. Â It has beautiful Civil War prints all rolled together waiting for you to win.
Anyone who wants a chance to win needs to finish up your log cabin block.  If you don’t have a blog and want to enter, send me a picture of your completed project by January 28th or link your blog post to my blog on January 30th.  You  can send your pictures to this email address, rogjok@iowatelecom.net.
If you want a bundle of fat eighths from Country Threads, they have a limited amount of the bundles for sale for $29.95. Â Just a heads up too…When ordering from Country Threads, your initial order may state a large shipping charge. Â Once the order is processed the shipping charge will be adjusted so that you only pay the actual shipping charge.
I continue to get emails from people who are joining us…it’s so fun to see lots of you joining in. Â Mary at Country Threads announced the Quilt Square Quilt Along in the Country Threads newsletter. Â If you are new and want some more info you can follow this link. Â The more the merrier…
Sweet! Love both those quilt squares! I ordered my pattern but I am still waiting on it. I hope to catch up cause I would LOVE to win that fat 1/8 pack! Thanks for hosting this!
I just have a little more hand qulting on mine, then the binding. I will send a picture when it is completely finished. I really like the black and white….what a great idea to make a candle mat and add a candle….wonderful gift. I may use that idea with the 2nd one I made.
I just finished piecing my block yesterday. I’m trying to decide what to use for binding and what color thread for quilting. Hopefully, I will finish it in time for the end of the month. I love the black and white. It is always fun to see what everyone comes up with for ideas with a project like this. Thanks again for hosting this, it was a wonderful idea!
Love both candle mats!

The block went together well thanks to your advice to measure each step of the way. I have not quilted a log cabin block before. I’m wondering what pattern of quilting to use? Suggestions? Sorry for not using Facebook, but it has been weird of late… Tons o spamming reply all happening, so I’m stayin’ clear for a while. O btw LOVE the blocks you’ve shown us. Thanks! B
