I
haven't made a log cabin quilt in a while, and I was ready for a
quick project with straight seams. Cabin Fever features navy, cream
and watermelon prints from my scrap boxes, cut into 1 ½” strips.
The
six large 14” blocks are framed with 2 ½” sashing, then I added
a 3 ½” navy paisley border. Starting in the center of each block,
I quilted down the center of the strip with a straight stitch,
turning at each corner. For the sashing and borders, I used a small
serpentine stitch in the same thread. It's 42" x 57" lap quilt size.

| Cabin Fever |
I
really don't have cabin fever yet, but it seemed like a perfect name
since I am staying at home. I've only been out twice (grocery, oh
goody) in five weeks.
We should be at
the campground right now, but I am enjoying nature by taking walks
around our property and reading on the porch on warm days.
I
thought I'd be cleaning out closets, washing windows, and doing other
spring cleaning chores from my list. I'll get to it...maybe next week...right now I'm
happy to be in I-SEW-lation.
