Vee's Modern Log Cabin in Blue and Yellow

Hello, All.  I'm posting this for my mom b/c she's prepared her block for July as assigned.  This is a picture of it completed.  Isn't it pretty.  If you remember her paper piecing block from last year.  These blocks will go with her blocks from last year to complete a quilt.  I'm excited at seeing this come to fruition for her.  Her quilt will be beautiful.  She's prepared some instructions. 

 They are as follows...

 

 

You will receive all the pieces cut to spec.  =)  Lay them out in the order you see below.  The pieces are numbered in the order that you will sew them together.  USE 1/4 inch seam. (That is really important.)  Finger press the seam toward the dark fabric.

 

1)  You will begin with the 3 1/2 inch yellow square. (labeled piece #1)
2)  Sew one 3 1/2 in x 2 in strip (labeled piece #2) to the top edge of the yellow square.  Right sides together always.
3)  With the yellow square at the bottom and 3 1/2 x 2 in. strip on top, sew one 5 in x 2 in strip (piece #3) to right side of yellow square.

 

4)  Sew 5 in x 2 in dark blue strip (piece #4) to bottom of square.
5)  To the left of your developing quilt block, sew 2nd dark blue 6 1/2 x 2 in strip. (piece #5)
6)  Sew 6 1/2 x 2 in yellow with blue flowers strip (piece #6) to the top.

  

 

7)  Sew 8 x 2 in yellow with blue flowers strip (piece #7) to the right side.
8)  Sew 8 x 2 in blue with white flowers strip (piece #8) to the bottom.

 

 9)  Sew 9 1/2 x 2 in blue with white flowers (piece #9) to the left.
10)  Sew bright yellow and blue 9 1/2 x 2 in strip (piece # 10) to the top.
11)  Sew 11 x 2 in bright yellow and blue strip (piece #11) to the right.

 

12)  Sew 11 x 2 in royal blue with white paisleys (piece #12) to the bottom.
13)  Sew 12 1/2 x 2 in royal blue with white paisleys (piece #13) to the left.

 

You are finished!!!!!  Well done and THANK YOU!

Where's the beef? (I mean fabric!!)

Hey Ladies I know we are all busy, busy, busy right now with summer stuff and kids but we really need to work on some squares that are missing for people!!  We are missing squares for everyone who has completed a tutorial since January (Connie - String Star; Mardie - Hour Glass; Sherrie T - Nine Patches in Paradise, and Emily - Feather).   These ladies are patiently waiting for their squares so they can finish up their quilts!! 

Also, we need tutorials from you!!!   Jennifer R had May for everyone to work on her squares but we need your tutorial.  Llewellyn had the month of June for her square and we need that tutorial as well.

Vanitta has July so we need that tutorial also!!!  

Please try to get the new tutorials up as soon as you can.  

If anyone needs help with their squares there are several people in the group who would love to get together with you and sew!  Sometimes working in a group to sew helps motivate us to get the squares finished and posted on the blog!!

Thanks,

Connie

A Feather for Emily!

Here is my Feather for Emily!!  This wasn't as hard as I thought it might be!!  Sorry I am so late in getting it done!
