My new project is one that I have been wanting to do for a long time, the basic log cabin block. That doesn't mean my layout will be basic, but I won't know that until I have made lots more blocks. I may still add one more row of logs since this block will only finish at 7" right now. Then it would finish at 9".
In a log cabin block the center is typically red or a dark color anyway but I want the larger side of the block (the one with the last 2 strips) to be light so I started with a light center. I want this to be a spring log cabin. I will make some blocks with even lighter darks.
I used some more of the pencil boxes that were on sale to store each of the sizes of logs and centers. I put a piece of scotch tape on the box and wrote the number on it. When the project is over I can remove the tape and have an unmarked box.
It is warm this morning and light rain. We are in for colder weather after today but at least it won't be the snow that so many other places got.
