Cabin Fever Complete

Finished these blocks for a family reunion quilt this summer.
Can you see the shadow of my helper's chin at the top?


My SIL requested 12 of these . . . . but I only needed to make 2. I only spent $2 as well for the black and the gray . . . all the others came from my projects and my mom's colorful closet.


The pattern link is here.
I was shocked when I counted the number of pieces needed to make the blocks . .. . but then my SIL assured me if I cut them in strips it would not be so overwhelming. She was right. I am happy with the final product.

And, because I am fascinated by color value, here they are in black and white.


Happy Weekend!!!
(Trying to whittle away at a long list of to-do's before I add more to it).

  2. Beautiful work! I love them. I can't wait to put them side-by-side the two my family made. This is going to be a wonderful quilt, even if I do say so myself! SIL

  3. They look great! I would definitely have been intimidated by all of the pieces.

  4. Great job, Beth. I have started gathering my pieces of cloth. I hope I can use what I have around the house. I have some off white muslim, but it looks more buff colored than yours. I wonder if I should get some ligther muslim. Nancy

  5. these are so pretty! I am glad I didn't look until mine were done! I am glad I think you suggested I do the 3 shades of blue, it looks so awesome on yours.
