Great Balls of Color!

I love these circle log cabins!  The pattern is from Better Homes and Gardens Quilt Sampler Magazine (Spring/Summer 2014).  I intend to use my scraps to make these.  Maybe I will have enough for a rainbow.  For now, this shot of yellow makes me smile.

I used white and light ivory for the background so that the yellow would pop.
A border might be a good idea to square up the block.


These are stars made from material I got from my sister's mother-in-law.  I think they will make a nice Quilt of valor. There are about six different plaids.  They look very much like a Civil War Quilt I saw on the web.  The colors are very subdued so it is great to work on the color balls in between!

    Your circle log cabin block is gorgeous! That yellow is so bright and happy. A rainbow of them sounds like a great idea.

    I LOVE log cabin blocks. It was one of the very first ones I ever made when I first learned how to quilt. I think doing a rainbow would be quite lovely!

    I wondered if you might be interested in joining in another link up. My mom and I post one each Friday called Crafty Comment Karma, for people to link up any of their crafting, quilting or sewing posts. It's open for the whole week until the next one goes up, so I hope you think about joining us! Link-up located here: http://bit.ly/1FT3LsD

    The circle log cabin turned out beautifully. The stars will make a great QOV.
