That's the great thing with quilting that even some blocks or Fabrics that are not our favourites, they will MIX well with the others and sometimes they are important to make the reasult alive. I love log cabin but haven used it only few times.

I also love tea! However, when I'm on a roll, I find it very difficult to "take a break". I bring my tea to the sewing area, where I take a few sips while it's still hot...and then the next thing I know...it's cold!!

It's rather long, Sorry. Regardless of how it turns out, and I think it's going to be just what you were shooting for, I love that you are real out here! I'm so glad when other bloggers say, "I tried this, and I don't think it happened for me." It gives the rest of us hope! We aren't alone. Yes, if you make a quilt from an exact pattern with the same fabrics, it going to look like it all works. And that's fine, if that's what you are looking to do. But for me, it's not the quilt that thrills me as much as the road I travel to make it. I applaud you for putting on miles!

Mine are black & white and so far I'm not loving them, but I hope that changes! Love your fun blocks!
