Not my tissue covers....
Although they are a quick and easy make!
I've long admired the quilts made by Linda at KokaQuilts
Check out the beautiful quilts she makes....
And when I saw her Log Cabin quilt, I knew I had to make one too.

| I've lifted this directly from her website. I know she won't mind! |
There's also a sew-along happening on Instagram
and while I
considered joining in, I could not justify paying over
$20 for the pattern that was required to join in...
I mean, it's a log cabin block for goodness sake!
 |
| This became a test block- the yellow fabric is different shades! |
Initially, I was hoping to use my scraps but after getting
frustrated looking for suitably sized fabric, I've now
resorted to stash.
 |
| In fact I unpicked another block too... |
You can tell from this photo (above)the effect I am
aiming for.
I decided I needed more of a plan after all the random
piecing and piles of messy fabric...
design board made for an efficient piecing process.
supplement them with a purchase of some
blue and greens, and maybe some pretty strong florals!
Oh, I've decided to call it Carisbrook Cabin and hope to
get photos here....

| The Carisbrook Log Cabin Jail built in 1851 |
when it is finished!
The jail is probably not as cosy as a cabin, but this is as close as it gets!
There aren't a lot of log cabins in
Australia.😄
Happy days,
