Decided to do a little experimenting with a box of red scraps and another box of black scraps. Wonder what a log cabin block would look like in these two colors rather than the traditional dark/light combination.
It looks something like this.....
The blocks ended up being 9 1/2" squares so this particular layout results in a quilt top that will be approximately 36" x 54". I COULD add a little border or two and finish it as a lap quilt or sofa quilt....but before I do that, I'm going to go digging again and see if I have enough remaining scraps to make enough blocks to go around it one more time. Who knows....I may be able to get a Twin size quilt out of this before I'm completely finished. We will see....time will tell. :) :)
Keep using those scraps!!!!
