Log Cabin Fever

Today I have been writing information sheets on Log Cabin blocks for the City & Guild Course

Although it is a traditional block, there are hundreds of variations which can be achieved.

I have been exploring changes in proportion and scale as well as the centre shape. Most of my efforts today have been in the design of the blocks and I have been working with graph paper and coloured pencils. A bit time consuming but I don't have a design programme for the computer - (yet)

The scanner has been overworked and by using the drawing toolbar in 'Word' I have managed to produce designs for quilts and borders. 

Tomorrow will be into the studio to create some more samples for my students.

Happy stitching
