Over several years my tiny 1-1/4 inch scraps have been turned into log cabin blocks. The first 24 were done about the same time and put together into a rectangle. This winter I picked it up again and added 8 more blocks on each end to create a table runner for our rebuilt cabin. The original blocks were pieced on one machine, but the newer ones were done on a different one. All seemed well until the quilting was finished and the edges needed to be trimmed straight. Oops! Looks like the earlier blocks in the center were smaller than the more recently made blocks. The poor dear has an hourglass shape!
You can see the batting showing along the sides in the center. But all the quilting is DONE, and it's not coming out. She'll get a black binding to try and camouflage the fact that I've trimmed a half inch or more off of each side on the ends. You won't tell, will you? It will be our secret.
So colorful, delicate and pretty!!! Mums the word!
