My QOV group has ben doing a little block drive with these scrappy 8 1/2 inch Log Cabin blocks. I figured it might be fun to put tops together before the drive was over.
Ta da!!! The First Top!!!! So far I think we have enough blocks for 2 tops. I sorta forgot that they take 80 blocks to make a 64 x 80 quilt top.... sometimes Math eludes me.
But I really like how this one turned out. I will get the backing ready and get it quilted soon.
In the meantime, Thursday I sprained my ankle. I did it good.. because - if you are going to sprain something you might as well get some sympathy out of it right? I am supposed to be in a boot - but man those things could kill you. and they make your hips hurt....
I made my husband Vet Wrap it instead. I am so NOT good at sitting still!
Also - I can now use my sewing machine with my left foot haha
My Baby has sympathy ... but she REALLY wants to play and run and jump and attack me haha!!
Its so cute!!

So sorry you sprained your ankle, not fun. I hope it heals quickly. Love the blue log cabin setting.
Sorry for the sprained ankle! Time will heal it if you cooperate, too! The new top is gorgeous--what a stunning layout of log cabin blocks!
Your pup sure does look pretty sitting pretty!
Ooof sorry about the ankle - how did you do that? I can remember when I was young, when I sprained my ankle it hurt! Glad your husband can do the "vet wrap"! Your puppy is adorable. I'll send our Boomer up for the same training!
Oh, and your lob cabin QOV is beautiful!
Sorry for the sprain and please take care of yourself. Lovely log cabin top.
Oh the pain of an ankle sprain. I've been there with you. :( But that log cabin QOV is beautiful! Thanks for joining my Sew and Tell party.
I always love this version of a log cabin! It is beautiful. So sorry about you ankle...I broke mine 2 years ago so I know how hard it is to sit still. Glad you can sew with your left foot!
Bummer about the ankle sprain. And you're right about those boots - that jump started my hip problems a few years ago. I love that log cabin QOV! That block is a great idea for a future block drive for our group.
Hope the sprain heals quickly! I really like the log cabin setting.
Sorry about the ankle sprain, that's no fun at all. The log cabin quilt turned out really nicely. It's a very cool setting.
What a pretty QOV! I'm sorry to hear about your ankle. My right foot bothers me often so I can sew effectively with either foot now.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery!! I had to wear a boot for months due to treatment and then after surgery. I never want to do that again!
Yuk. . .to the ankle sprain. May you heal quickly and not re-injure it! QOV is beautiful!
That log cabin quilt is wonderful. I'm a fan of almost every log cabin quilt. This one really pops. Ugh to the sprain. I'm not surprised you stay active. You get so much done every week -- or so it seems to me. We've found out our Sunny is the stubbornest dog on the planet. She's doing really well on most things but if she doesn't want to continue her walk she'll put her brakes on. Not sure how we'll break that habit but it needs to stop. Otherwise she's a pretty good little girl.
I have sprained my ankle many times over the years. Sorry for your ankle. Elevate it!
