Hi all!
Right before I took my boys to see a matinee of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" on this rainy Sunday I got these 36 blocks all done!
My 36 Halloween log cabin blocks are finished and I am very happy with the way that they turned out! Now to print off some quilt layout numbers and get them arranged in a setting. I would like to at least get the top done before Halloween - then I will worry about the quilting at a later date. A nice fall print on the back would be really pretty!
UPDATE!
Just a few minutes after I posted this blog post I laid the the blocks out, on the floor, and, I realized just how small 72" x 72" is for a bed quilt :-(
The top of my bed is 56" x 76" so the width is fine but the length - not so much :'-( I really love how this is working up but I really feel like I need to add two more rows to the length so that the pattern will be completed and the length will be useful for a bed.
Yup - that means 12 more blocks - not so bad I guess but I really wanted the blocks to be done - sigh. Good news I have a bunch of left-over logs so it's not like I am starting over. Bad news - 12 more blocks!
Maybe the size is ok as it is? Maybe I could live with it? Or, maybe now - If I am going to change the size NOW is the time to do it. Hmmm.............
What would you do? Increase the size or stay the same?

Love Halloween colors.
They look great!!! Can't wait to see how you put it all together!
I have some but trying very hard to get the Christmas gifts completed first. I love your blocks
I would add to the size. Even if I wished I was done. If it is not long enough you will always wish you had went a head and done the blocks.Now you know how great it is will be the needed jolt to finish 12 more.
Go ahead and make it bigger now..otherwise you always wish you had.
