Four Blocks Finished

In my last post I mentioned being four blocks short

for the Log Cabin Quilt I am making.

Even though I had counted the blocks several times,

I hadn't made enough for the quilt.

After looking everywhere the blocks could have been,

and not finding the missing blocks

I realized I would have to make four more.

They went together pretty quickly, since I was only making four!

They are finished and ready to be added to the rows.

As I was getting ready to sew these blocks into rows,

I was worried about getting them turned or in the wrong place.

I had laid the quilt out on the floor and picked the blocks up in

piles of each individual row.

Then I remembered that I had these pins...

These were purchased years ago and sure come

in handy when sewing big quilts together.

I used pins to keep the squares in the right order

while sewing them into to rows.

I also put a pin with the row number into each 

sewn row, so they won't get in the wrong order.

No one wants a log cabin quilt

with out of whack rows!

Now I can begin sewing the rows together

and finish this top.

Happy Quilting!
