I finally have some sewing pics for those of you who have extremely patient with me.
No excuses for tardiness, partying etc.

For Summer School this year I was aiming for a look that is light and summery.
These three blocks are made from fabrics in the Liberty Lifestyle Range and use a "Quilt as You Go" method. The Batting is a summer weight one called "Quilt Light"
You can make all sorts of patterns with log cabin blocks; this is just one version, called streak of lightning.
Usually you see the zig zags run vertically on the quilt.

Log Cabin – Quilt As You Go © Linda Bear 2012
Log cabins and “Quilt as you Go” technique have been around for a very long time
Choose between half cabin “Cabin Carnivale” or traditional “Stanford Cabin” and learn how this method has come of age.
N.B. Fat quarters and precut strips of fabric are not suitable for either quilt
