I only did about an hour of sewing this weekend, which was just enough to add log cabin strips around these cupcake blocks that I made last week.
After reading Mary-Frances' post about strip piecing, on Outside the Line , I suddenly had the desire to finish my blocks. I pulled out an old bag of 1.5-inch log cabins strips that I thought looked cupcakey. These colors remind me of sherbet--I guess a scoop of sherbet goes with a cupcake, right?
.
I then found a bag of bluish colors and used them for the second side.
Here are the finished blocks:
So now I have the cupcake towel I made a week ago and these 4 cupcake things--not yet sure what they will be.
Oh, dear, I just noticed that I forgot all the cherry stems on the new blocks. I will probably have to go back and add them tonight.
