Wonky Log Cabin!

Last week at my LPG we were chatting about wonky log cabins and then I saw a lovely tutorial
by Quilt Dad. My puppies seriously need a new quilt for the lounge beside me and they are getting old so I thought I would make them a new quilt!
I am really thrilled with this Tutorial - while wonky not too wonky. Also, I have been wanting to use little snippets of gorgeous, cute Japanese fabrics, so here is the start. This block measures 12.5" and should be quick to whip up - though being sort of particular with my stitching, I must admit I sometimes have great difficulty with 'wonky'!

My grandson, Byron who received the nasty burns a little while ago is doing really well (brave little man did need surgery on two of the wounds) and hoping to get back to his AFL (football) this weekend - all of 8 years old and following in the footsteps of Bailey who flies to Sydney next week to represent our state. To those wondering about the raffle quilt I made, this trip is fully sponsered by the State League - I'm sure I will find a nice use for the quilt elsewhere seeing it won't be raffled.

Happy stitching, Lovelies! I'm hoping to play with fabrics this weekend.

    So cute! I prefer just slightly wonky...and I think yours looks like it has just the right amount! Glad to hear Byron is on the mend.

    These fabrics are very cheerful together and are looking totally at home all wonky.
    Enjoy stitching this up.

    I have a whole tub of odds and ends strips to use up, and wonky log cabins would be perfect for that! Yours looks great! :0)

    I, too, have a problem with wonky and also with random. Random just doesn't happen -- before very long I am being precise again! Liked your wonky blonk, however!

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away
    your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
    be giving us something enlightening to read?
