Log Cabin Quilt Fabric from Walmart- Turquoise and Grey Color Scheme
Hi everyone! In a post I published last week, I talked about new log cabin quilt fabric I purchased from Walmart. You can read that post here. During the same shopping trip, I decided to buy the fabric I needed to make a second log cabin quilt. This time, I decided to use a turquoise and grey color scheme.

Log Cabin Quilt Fabric from Walmart- Yellow and Navy Color Scheme
Hi everyone! As I write this post, I am on a sewing hand break. I needed one badly! Even though I am on a break, I am still thinking of sewing more things. Included in my post-break sewing list are dresses, new PJs, and a new coat. One of the things I didn’t add on my list are quilts. I didn’t plan on making any more quilts until after I finish my pink and green log cabin quilt. I was fully committed to not looking for fabric for a future quilt until I discovered my local Walmart has their fabric on sale. For over a year, I’ve been looking at…

Restarting Work on the Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt
Hi everyone! I finally decided to restart working on the pink and green log cabin quilt. I stopped working on it last year (I think?!) because I had problems making the blocks fit together. After taking so much time off, and walking by it every day since I put it down, I decided to pick it back up and start working on it again. I decided to start working on it for two reasons: The first is because I’m planning on working on two more log cabin quilts and want to finish this one before I work on them. The second is because I’m just tired of waking by it…

An Update on my Pink and Green Quilt- Current Progress and Possible Future Plans for It
Hi everyone! It’s been about a year (It feels like it at least) since I talked about my pink and green quilt. I started last year, but never wrote an update about it since then. Since it has been so long since I talked about it, I wanted to write a post about how far along I am in making it as well as any changes I want to make to it.

Sewing Project List for the End of Winter 2023
Hi everyone! Spring Solstice (AKA the beginning of spring) will be here next month. I am both happy to see warmer temperatures come back, but I also despise the warmer temperatures. Living in Arizona is not fun during the summertime! Even though summertime will be no fun due to the heat, I always look forward to wearing cute, light weight clothing. This year, I plan on making myself more clothes than I buy. I’m not sure if this will work out the way I plan, but I am hopeful I will have the clothes to wear more cute spring and summertime outfits than in previous years. Even if it means…

Pink and Green Log Cabin Green Fabric Replacement
After going through my photographs of the Pink and Green Log Cabin quilt, I found old photographs of the green replacement fabric. The fabric was purchased as a replacement to the original olive green fabric I used in the blocks. While sewing the blocks, I ran out of the fabric and needed to purchase new fabric. I couldn’t find the original fabric anymore, so I looked for a replacement that would match the original fabric’s color and not look out of place on the quilt. I found a nearly perfect replacement fabric at Joann’s not long after my search began. I originally thought I either deleted the photographs of the…

Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt Block Pattern Ideas
It’s been a while since I talked about my work on the Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt, but to be honest, there hasn’t been much progress since my last post about the quilt. Even though I don’t have much to report about the quilt, I do have old photographs I took of the quilt as reference that I can use in posts! Since I’m still working on the quilt, I decided to talk about some of the old reference photographs as fill in topics to write posts about. Two of the photographs I want to talk about are of the placement and layout of the blocks. Since I used…

Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt Block Finished
In my last post about the pink and green quilt, I talked about the fabric I used for the quilt. I took the photographs of the fabric a few months ago. Since then, I finished all the blocks for the quilt! Here is what the finished blocks look like… I had some problems with the quantity of fabric I needed to make the quilt. I wanted to make a king size quilt, but I didn’t have enough olive green fabric for the last strip of the panel. I found some fabric in a different pattern at Joann’s that would work perfectly as a substitute for the original fabric. Even though…

Pink and Green Log Cabin Quilt Fabric Choices
A few months ago, I talked about my intention to make a log cabin quilt out of scrap strips of fabric. After doing some shopping, I decided on the strip color I wanted to use first and what other colors I want to make using it. The first color of scrap fabric I picked was this olive green dragon fly fabric… I decided to make the theme of the quilt pink and green. I thought of the idea after looking at an advertisement for the musical Wicked. In the musical, Elpheba’s skin is green and Glinda’s favorite color is pink. Because of this, advertisements for the musical include the…
