LIBERATED LOG PROGRESS

Wow! Thanks for the comments. Someone even called them Picasso ‘ish and Cubist. High compliments for simple Liberated Logs from Block Lotto! Maybe I’ll name this quilt ‘South Beach’.

In the original rules for each block, you had to stick with the blue/green/purple color palette, but you also had to include a black and white or a black and a white. Other colors could be in there, but not dominate. There’s a blatant red start to one of my blocks. So sassy! She doesn’t belong, but I love her spunk! Also half the blocks had to tilt upward and half downward.

After taking comments into consideration, I decided to use sashing and not to use sashing. I didn’t want to lose the up-angle and down-angle of the blocks, so I decided to group them in sets of four. Then I’m sashing those in Kona black and using a perky white/blue/lime print for the cornerstones. Now that leaves purple out, so I do think the border may need to be purple. We’ll see.

Shown is my first row. All the rest are sewn in sets of four, awaiting their sashing and cornerstones. More progress tomorrow, God willing, and the creek don’t rise.
