The problem was what to do with a whole bunch (maybe 50!) of Scarecrows that were 2x3 inches.
They were leftovers from some children's clothing I made years ago. I just couldn't think up what to use them for. The can't be squared up without cutting off part of the design.
Well, there's no reason that the center of a log cabin needs to be square, and no reason that the logs have to be the same width. So... ta da! A little math and we're on our way.
The center block is cut 2" by 3". The side logs are cut 1-1/4" wide. The top and bottom logs are cut 1" wide. Two rounds make a 5 inch block, all nice and square.
Don't you think that white sashing will set the colors off nicely?
I'm not sure what size quilt this will make. Maybe several small quilts, or two baby quilts. Anyway, it's using up some tiny pieces and makes a great leader-ender.
