The baby wasn't due until 8 January so I obviously decided that it was much better to wait until just before Christmas to think about a quilt design. I decided on something based on Retro Starburst from Material Obsession 1. And again I decided it was much more sensible to wait around the baby's due date to actually start working on the quilt.
I decided to make my blocks more scrappy then the ones in the book and I now have pieced 5 log cabin blocks. My original plan was to have 9 blocks; 5 log cabins and 4 large panel pieces like this:
But I really like the log cabin blocks and am now thinking of just having 1 panel piece (the dresses) in the centre surrounded by 8 log cabin blocks. Like this but with another row of log cabins:
What do you think?
Linking up with WIP Wednesday for the first time too.
I think that your second idea is fantastic!! That would really be fun, and I love those log cabins too! Although, either one will undoubtedly be fantastic!
