log cabin quilts

I have really fallen for the easy 'quilt in a day' system for log cabin quilts. No joke, a good sized lap blanket - 16 squares - in 3 hours, all out of odds and ends from my fabric stash. :) Go me, lap blankets for my dad, one of my oldest friends and even one for myself. :) now I just have to sit down and actually batt and quilt the suckers, lol, always the sticking point.



I'm running out of wall space in my craft room, so these three cuties are hanging in my living room, hence the lamp over the green and the bookshelf over the purple. I'm slapping my hand to keep from making more before sitting down and quilting what I already have made, especially since they are all xmas presents.




This blue one is for my dad and the first one I finished...and of course I managed to turn that middle section backwards, lol. I'm tempted to leave it like that, a sort of 'I was here' sign and see how long it takes Dad to notice.
