Happy new year!
January 10, 2012 at 10:37 pm | Posted in book news, chatty, log cabin quilting, portland modern quilt guild, project extras | 2 CommentsHello and happy 2012! It’s been a busy couple months but I’m really excited for some new quilting. I’m so honored to be the incoming president of the Portland Modern Quilt Guild, and my fellow officers and I are planning some fun things with the guild! Hope to see you at our January 19th meeting – 7-9 pm at PNCA, room 205.
I have a new patchwork project to share that I’ll write up and post this week – a little companion/sequel to the Sunshine and Sock Monkeys Quilt.
Everett really loves this one! It was kind of hard to get even a quick snapshot of it.
Last, I just posted a new correction for the Market Tote (page 141) from Modern Log Cabin Quilting.
The seam allowance is incorrect on the first page (says 3/8″, should be 1/4″) – lots more details here on the corrections page. I’m so sorry about the error, but you can make a beautiful, sturdy, slightly smaller bag with the 3/8″ seam allowance, like Mary‘s here on the right (approximately 14″ blocks instead of 16″).
I’ll see you soon with the new project and some of my favorite photos of reader-made projects from the book – thank you to everyone who has added theirs to the MLCQ flickr pool!

Hi Susan, I will have a Happy New Year because I was given your Modern Log Cabin book for Christmas and I cannot wait to start some of your projects. The only problem I have is that I am desperate to make the modern crosses quilt but I have a jelly roll which is 2 1/2 ins. wide and your pattern is for 2ins.wide strips. I do not relish the thought of cutting 60 strips so I wondered if you had any patterns for log cabin with 2 1/2 ins wide strips.
I love your book. Many thanks from

Lynda, thank you so much for your note! I just this morning put together a mini-tutorial on making jelly roll version of the Modern Crosses. I’ve been wanting to for awhile and finally had time to whip up a few blocks and take photos and measurements. It’s right here: http://modernlogcabinquilting.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/jelly-roll-modern-crosses-blocks/
I would love to see your jelly roll Modern Crosses quilt! I hope you enjoy the book!
-Susan
