100 Blocks DONE!

 I have been slowly over the past several weeks working on my 1 inch strips to make a small log cabin block. ( 5 inch unfinished)

And today, they are all completed.  I would chain 3 or 4 at a time. This would allow changing colors if the random color on the stack did not match the block. I did not always agree on some of the light fabrics that were in the selection. Sometimes, I would use the back of the fabric instead, because it was lighter. 

A week ago I did a search of how I would set the 100 blocks into a top.  I ended up really liking Gretchen's Barn Raising setting from her 2019 tab of completed quilts. ( Gretchen Little Corner)

I just discovered my first post on them was from October 14 of this year even. I really stuck with it to remember how I squared up each log as I added it.  My mini ruler was a perfect assistant. 

Center as I laid they out. I needed for all dark squares for the center of the star. 

And all 100 blocks:

It will only be 45 inches square when finished. 

And here is what is left of the original precut box.

I could make a few extra... but I am DONE making the blocks. 

I now have them all paired up for webbing and putting it together on retreat next month.
