Off Centered Log Cabin Blocks

Do you think that there is a chance I'm ADD? I like to change from project to project and sometimes, even though I have 4 projects going, I'll read a magazine article or see something on the internet and just HAVE to make a block. It's awful the way I flit from thing to thing....just like a little honey bee.

Today was another slow quilting day....at least for me. It's Sunday, and since we can't go to church any more, I feel a little guilty sewing....just a little! I should have cut the larger pieces for Jonathan's graduation quilt, but I just didn't want to. Besides, I have to drag out three Rubbermaid boxes of fabric and dig through them and all the big mess of cutting 4 1/2 inch strips and then cutting 2 1/2 in strips....nope, not today. I think I'll save that for another UFO Day at church....(any takers ladies????).

Instead, I decided to sew a few of my Off Centered Log Cabin Blocks and lay them out, just to admire them. This means I have to drag out my 1 1/2 inch strip bucket and the 2 inch strips instead! Anyway, I sat the strip bins on my Dear Daughter's bench (made by Dear Son several years ago), and made a mess on the floor, which is still there as I type! They are turning out so nicely.

In case anyone wants to know, I am making this top JUST BECAUSE. I really don't feel like I need a reason to dig through strips and scraps and make something beautiful. I do it just because I like to. And I just enjoy being creative. That's reason enough, isn't it? Plus, I know someday these four children of mine will marry and want quilts and then they will have children and they will want quilts, so, I'm amassing a stock pile from which all these wonderful people can choose their very own quilt. (No picking now children....wait until you marry!)



This is another scrap and stash quilt!
