You may recall I broke my hand at the beginning of October. It’s been impossible to sew until recently, but I’ve found if I’m slow, I can work for a while. It’s been good for my soul to get back to it, even though I have to take deep breaths & remind myself there are no real deadlines, so just enjoy the process & don’t worry if it takes forever. It’s just fun to sew again.
With that in mind, I made two center blocks for the large log cabins in the QAL from Riley Blake called From Our House. I cut out all the logs before I fell & made one block, so I can turn these into cabins now. I’m behind in the QAL, but no stress. I’m downloading the patterns as they drop each week & will finish at some point.
It was hard to wrangle this big project, but I got the sashings attached & made the flimsy for my Split 9-patches. They were laid out on my design wall when I fell, so I’ve had plenty of time to mull over sashing options. I went with the offset to give it a little movement & some keystones. This is the fourth finish of my eight RSC2024 projects, so I’m really not too far off track!
Injuries or no, it’s good not to have deadlines, because life gets in the way! I love the way you set your split 9s. That’s going to be a beautiful quilt!
Very pretty flimsy!! And done while having a broken hand. Good for you! It’s hard to give up the things that feed our souls.
I’m not sure I have commented here before, but I really like the offset layout on the split nines! Some day I plan to sew this pattern for the RSC , and I may borrow your idea.
