After spending most of my day trying to figure out where I’m going with these half Log Cabin blocks … I’ve made a decision and am making progress. I love the fabrics but I’m not sure this was the best quilt for them. Luckily I have more jelly rolls and more fat quarters! You’ll have to wait a bit to see what I decided on.
Keith took me out to dinner on the water tonight … it was warm but we sat outside anyway. We’ve been here in Tampa 4 years now and we’ve been talking about whether it’s where we want to stay … so many positives but I do have a bit of wanderlust left inside of me. For now, I think my monthly trips are enough to satisfy it but I am missing Big Canoe too.
Love them on point!

What, where, or who is Big Canoe? We’ve lived in our motorhome for 18 years so I really understand wanderlust.
We discovered North Georgia last year. It’s beautiful.
I like the on point setting. Maybe alternate the columns – dark center fabric, light center fabric, dark center, etc. ( if you have enough light fabrics).
Those pretty fabrics will make a pretty quilt whichever way you go.
That is going to be a tough decision. The on point caught my eye, but I like the other, too.
Can’t wait to see what you decided on for the quilt. I’m sure it will be beautiful! Tough decision on moving. My husband and I moved to a very small Eastern WA town 10 yrs ago. Built our dream home but I hated living there. I missed my 3 children and my grandchildren so much. We were there for 3 yrs so I did give it a good try. And even though we traveled back and forth quite a bit it just wasn’t the same. I like being close to family so we moved back. I loved the house and that is my only regret. Even though the traffic here is a nightmare we are close to all family and nice stores and restaurants. We will stay here!! Good luck with your decision!!
Hi Mary! I cannot wait to see where your blocks end up. Where were you before Tampa? No one says you have to stay put, although it is a lot of work to move. The upside is that you go through your belongs so you end up moving fewer things . . . in theory, anyway. ~smile~ Roseanne
