Shawn Bailey from Bailey’s Quilting HeadQuarters made this excellent video on how to make a scrappy Wonky Log Cabin quilt block. She makes it look so easy, and lots of fun too.

I’ve never really been inspired to do a log cabin quilt before, but I quite like this method, and want to give it a try one of these days. I have a huge box of strips leftover from when I was making my Flip and Stitch quilts. This would be a perfect opportunity to use them up.

Check out this fabulous tutorial to make a 12″ finished Gretchen block.

The Gretchen block is traditionally made up of only 2 colours.

This tutorial uses a series of light and darks with red and white prints for the pinwheel of each block. Great for using up scraps.

Rick rack rocks … sorry I couldn’t resist! (Or is it ric rac?)

Anyway, check out these super gorgeous quilt blocks with rick rack. And, here’s the detailed tutorial on how to put it all together. Definitley a colour explosion!

I had never heard to wash rick rack before. Does it run, or shrink, or both?

Jacquie has created this great tutorial on making a Wonky Log Cabin Block. Tonnes of photos are included making it super-easy to follow along. Definitely a must-try. Great way to use up leftover strips.

Here’s a quick and easy project, Bali Pops Tutorial. I love these fabrics, and this pattern is sure to come together very quickly. Sometimes we all need a project that’s just straight stitches and no fancy points to worry about… or is that just me?

In addition to instructions using 2.5″ strips, Rachel also provides measurements if you are using Fat Quarters, Jelly Cakes and Sweet 16 Rolls.
