The Craftsy Block of the Month class featured log cabin style logs for the month of May. It has been awhile since I put these together, but I am pleased to finally be posting about them.
The first log cabin block is called a floating frame block. I really like the concept of this block, but I am not sure I had the best fabrics to feature its strong points. I think this block would be best if you have a strong focal point for the center, something that really draws you inward and really ends up looking framed. I also thinking going somewhat smaller scale on both the middle block and the different frames would be best. I wanted to do something large and chunky, but I don't think it translated as well as it could have.
The second block is a wonky log cabin block. This block was creative, random and fun. I could see doing a quilt with nothing but this block and every block still looking unique and fresh. This is another block that is great for showcasing a focal point fabric, which I was able to do since I decided to start the middle of the block off with a smaller print.
I enjoyed the May blocks and I am looking forward to catching up on June, July and August! After I get caught up there will only be one month of blocks left - September. The remaining months of the year will be spent piecing together and finishing off the quilt!
