This week Wendy provided the prompt for the fourth round of the 2026 SAHRR by choosing curves. For my interpretation of the prompt, I made "curved log cabin" blocks. I love this offset version where the logs are different widths and give the illusion of a curve. I tried in vain to find "log" measurements for a 10-1/2 inch block, but finally just winged it. While looking, I found a very interesting post at Canuck Quilter showing various layouts of these pretty blocks.
Here is how all the blocks look with the panel so far. My blocks are 10-1/2 inches unfinished.
2026 RSC - February Green
RSC February green blocks
My RSC blocks this year will ultimately become a Nine Patch and Snowball quilt, inspired by Nancy, Saija, and Blue Elephant Stitches. If you click on those links, you will find my favorite versions of this pattern. I like the light text print snowball and dark corners with the colorful nine-patches. Google search results in many variations, including a lovely one by Susies-Scraps.com that looks completely different because of the placement of white in her nine-patches.
Here are the blues from January with the greens from February, along with the snowball blocks. I'm looking forward to some warm colors!
I am adding my post to:
I have always liked those curved log cabin blocks! They really do give the illusion of a curve. Great idea, Linda! And your RSC blocks are looking good, too - I like the way the snowball corners make the 9 patches into a star shape. You've been busy this week!
ReplyDeleteNice looking log cabin blocks. I like your RSC project too.
ReplyDeleteI like the curved log cabin! That’s a great interpretation of the prompt—I wish I would have thought of that. Your nine patch and snowball blocks are really coming together nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love that gorgeous panel, but I have to say the fabric that you used in the blocks in the second quilt is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a curvy log cabin but I have seen many I really liked. Great idea to use them for this prompt.
ReplyDeleteNice take on the curved blocks! And your RSC is looking so great already, and it's only February!!! I like the deer, map and butterflies overlaid on the text fabrics.
