The Magic Number........480!!!!!

Well I have finally reached that "Magic Number" of 480 Log cabins Blocks, I just love these:

I have mixed emotions about reaching my goal..........i cant wait to see the quilt top all together, yet im really going to miss sewing this little blocks. Just as a matter of interest, i started sewing them on 16 February (this year), they r 4 inch finished and they consist of 6240 individual pieces!!!! (wow thats a lot of cutting) lol and a lot of stash used up!!!!!

So the next few weeks,for me, will be spent sewing them all together. I need to make 30 of these blocks which will then become my quilt top:

This one is definetley going to the quilters for finishing, which will be a new experience for me but an enjoyable one im sure!!!!

Thnx to everyone who left a birthday wish for Maddi......she loved reading them!!! She had a fantastic day on Wednesday and then a party with her friends yesterday. They r a great bunch of girls and they made her day special!!! Im sure they will be friends for life!!!

Take care

  1. Excellent job on the log cabin blocks! You must have paper pieced these blocks--I can't imagine cutting strips so narrow!kxt

  2. Rose you have more patience than I'd ever have with all those log cabin blocks, but they are just gorgeous. I'm sure it's going to be a beautiful quilt when it's finished.

  4. What a piece of work you have done! Very impressing. I think you are very clever. Will it be a quilt for a double bed, or what?
    And for you (and other foreigners) I have now started writing some of my blog in English. Hope you'll enjoy it. Elin from Norway.
