Oh Valerie.... You are so Smart!!!
Okay.. Here's Katy's block....
And here is mine. I decided to do something a little different... I'm not normally a huge fan of batiks, but when I went to the fabric warehouse and saw all these gorgeous bright colors... I couldn't resist!
Okay everybody... Ready........... Set...........Go..
Have fun..... don't stress... if you need help just give a holler!

YEA! I think I will go scrappy
And just to keep it all in the family, the red rose fabric is from through the seasons line I believe.

Re: Week 1 of sew along
Is the block suppose to have 5 colors, or 6 colors? Katy and Maryq have 5. Valerie has 6.
Do we just do whatever size we want?
I will look for the directions.
I am still deciding. Boy, your contest sure went fast!

Vel I prefer the thinner logs. You can make yours however you want

Re: Week 1 of sew along
I don't have her pattern, but have made this block in Lotto, I think, not sure. Also, I have watched El's show on TV and it's also on Facebook under her videos.
I saved it to watch again. She cuts her strips to 2 1/2", so I will have to see if I have some lights and darks.
We are so busy this week trying to get settled in and cleaning our campsite. Have to buy mulch, plants for my pots, etc.
Going to give this a try, but don't know if I will keep up with the rest of you.

Valerie, my goodness you are fast!
Velda, I used the directions in Elโs book. โ Fabulous 40โsโ and I bought he log cabin ruler, which made it so much easier for me to get my strips right. But you can sure make this with 2.5โ strips too, as long as your block will square up to 12.5โ to match the others we will be doing. Just do what ever works best for you
Canโt wait to see what yโall do

Re: Week 1 of sew along
Oh My - I am with Velda. Please give the width size EACH STRIP should be plus the size of the CENTER. I do not like to cut and end up not getting 12.5" at the end.
If you go with El's 2.5" Strips and make her block you will end up with (I believe) 14.5" block.
Looks like I will need to dig out my books
Blocks are beautiful!!! Definitely LOVE the Colors and the Fabrics. Valerie's (Cut at 1.5"???) and Maryq's (Cut at 1.75"???) colors are brilliant while Katy's are a lovely Soft Springtime.
