I worked on this top for several days - even a couple of weeks using various 1.5” strips which I cut from the upcycled greens which I have been cutting up. My bag of 1.5” strips is still pretty large. I keep adding to it- I suppose that’s why.

Here’s the block this one is made from. Once again - a quarter log cabin block. The block finishes at 8” once it is all sewn together.

I was fascinated with how “cool” the look was when I worked it up on the EQ program (Electric Quilt). I had some doubts as I was working on the blocks, but I am entirely satisfied with the finished top.

The only thing I was looking for as I chose the fabrics was enough contrast with the white background fabric so that the design would show up. I did use some kind of pale greens, but pretty much left out the greens I have in my boxes with a lot of white in the background. I’ll have to use them for something else.

There is a lot to be said for a quarter log cabin block. It gives you quite a few interesting variations when you put them together.

Here’s what it looked like without the border.

But I wasn’t done with it at that stage. I wanted it to float in the middle of a white border.

So here it is - all finished (as a top) and yes, I really do like it. When I worked with these upcycled fabrics like this, I’m working with a variety of fibers and combinations, and often they are very soft.

I can starch - and sometimes do - but still I have some squishy parts - but I saw how after I quilted another from this series that somehow looked like this before appeared like this - and it turned out fantastic.

So I am quite pleased with how this one turned out. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as it was quite a bit like the one on the EQ layout.

And just because we actually cleaned up Christmas stuff earlier this week - before Three King’s Day - I have a nice clean living room (and love it!) and so here’s an overview - with the top right in the middle of the floor. It pretty much fills it up.

And there you go. I’m trying to focus on these tops - and get them whipped out quickly. My mind is reasonably clear and I’m able to focus. For that I’m grateful!

Once again - the series from the beginning. I still have three more I am actively working on.

If you have any suggestions on a name for this latest one, I’d love to hear it!

Be sure to check out what my sis has for you in the store here!

Here’s one of the beauties we have!
