log cabin Archives - The Little Mushroom Cap: A Quilting Blog

NOTE : I no longer promote Craftsy/Bluprint as I used to due to the way the subscription is currently being carried out. I had the issue of cancelling my subscription when the company changed hand and I find that cancelling through calls is inconvenient. However, I do still stand behind these classes I promote and if you are subscribed, you can surely check these classes I recommend on the platform. If you are looking for another online platform to learn craft such as quilting, do check out CreativeBug. It is much cheaper in subscription (subscribe now 3 months for only $5). Thank you.

I am working on several work-in-progress projects at the moment, and I am sharing one of them today with you: the courthouse quilt. It is so hard to concentrate on one as I really do get bored easily. Currently I am still quilting my swoon quilt (seems like it never ends!) and sewing few small items in between to get that feeling of satisfaction and a finish!

In between those, the only patchwork/quilt piecing I am into these days is the Liberty Courthouse Quilt. Partly because these were easy enough to chain piece and I had cut and organize them well to just pick up from where I left whenever I want.

I am loving it so far. I love the soft feel of of the Liberty fabrics and the Organic Voile Cotton from Robert Kaufman. My liberty stash is from Polka Dot Tea Fabrics Liberty Club and Alice Caroline supply shop. The voile I bought matches perfectly well with the soft Liberty.

The texture of the voile makes the whole quilt soft and flowy. This quilt is surely going to be loved!

The scrappy look and the busy prints of Liberty aginst those soft white voile is just perfect. Just the way I had it in mind.

I am not sure how big this quilt shall be, I am just going with the flow.

So far, I am loving it. I may play around with the layout as my blocks continue to grow.

Courthouse Quilt Block Measurements

Here are the measurements I used for a 7.5″ square block, so you can make one too!

1 (printed centre)	1.5 x 1.5”
2 (printed)	3.5 x 1.5”
2 (printed)	5.5 x 1.5”
2 (printed)	7.5 x 1.5”
2 (solid)	1.5 x 1.5”
2 (solid)	3.5 x 1.5”
2 (solid)	5.5 x 1.5”

In my mind, I may finish this early next year, and maybe… MAYBE …. I want to hand quilt it. But am sure the quilt won’t be done anytime soon if I were to handquilt it.. what do you reckon? Handquilt it or not?

Here is the Craftsy class where I learned to do applique and hand quilt. I have fallen in love with the hand quilting Sarah does that I really want to try it!
