Just this. Log Cabin method. Ragged edge indigo. One edge lapped over another. No foundation. Moon in the middle. Stitched with indigo thread. If I keep going, I wonder how many moons it will take to make a blanket?
The time it takes.
one side
the other side
Each kind of seam leads to a different form. I am not sure if I need to like one more than another. I want to make a blanket, maybe it will just be a cobblecloth based on this pattern.
I did look at this and ask myself what if (?)I weave a log cabin.
Bit then it turned into What if I take a walk?
love the ragged edge… I do love ragged edge appliqué so I will be trying this for sure! And it should work well with narrow strips I haven’t been able to get rid of. I knew there would be a use for them!
yes, I have so many left over from cloth weaving.
Oh goodie – I’ll try a ragged one today. Also wondering about doing a whole blanket of these .. I’m off to a great start.
Love.
I am loving this idea. Stayed with me, I couldn’t sleep.
personally, i hope you weave a log cabin after you get back from your walk… think i’ll give it a go, but would love to see your interpretation!
still considering, would love to see yours too.
Huh, I have been making crazy log cabins out of denim for the last couple years and making bags. I have also been making cobblecloth from tiny denim scraps, I carry them with me while I walk endlessly with my grandson (which I absolutely love) Now I have a name for them.
Names can hold things.
what a beauty!
Simple is good.❤
I hope you do make a log cabin! I am at about 2 1/2 years on mine. 🙂
Slow building. My fist quilt was a cabin. No pics. Gave it as a gift . No idea where the recipient went…
thank you for giving me a name for what I’ve been doing … lapped seams
Ooooo, the possibilities!
I started my first cabin block yesterday, didn’t get very far as the garden was calling, “YOOOHOOoo it’s Spring!!” 🌱🌸
Blossoms are popping, birds are singing, (we have a bluebird checking out the new house hubby built! 💙🐦)
Everything is sprouting and turning green….
So, I’m thinking in that direction with my block… Spring—
But OOOoooo, I love the ragged edge!! 💙🌕
I can’t keep up with all your fabulous “what ifs”, Jude!!! 😅🤩😆
me either, the walk seems a better idea right now, since some snow is on its way…
weaving a log cabin sounds like a spectacular undertaking. I cant image how complicated the draft would need to be. happy tuesday
i love a challenge
“What if I take a walk?” What will you see…
I worked for Levi Strauss in San Francisco years ago and learned a bit about denim there. I love the log cabin. Its simplicity has a lot of appeal to my sewing fingers.
Oh they were a big account when I was working.
And then also the Gap.
Oops I meant “It”
I would make a beautiful indigo lap quilt for yourself 💙
Yeah I kinda want to touch it…
I love the frayed parts near the moon.
fray is really lovely to play with. these indigo fabrics we engineered to fray with fade, way back when I designed cloth for the textile industry. I did a lot of tearing yesterday, some washing today.
