Design choices - log cabin quilt layout

I've made some more blocks for my pastel scraps log cabin quilt and they're all now cut to size (7 inch squares) - but the next bit is trying to decide the layout and design.  The log cabin blocks have whites and pale strips on two sides, and colours on the other two, giving me a load of layout options that give the quilt different effects.  Here they are side by side to try and make deciding between them easier:

1. Straight setting;  2. Pinwheels;  3. Straight furrows; 

        

4. Chevron;  5. Barn raising;  6. Streak of Lightning;

          

7. Log cabin star;  8. Sunshine and shadows;  9. Shadows and lightning.

In progress - pastel scraps log cabin quilt

I woke up really early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep for thinking about my sewing Sunday ahead - so I got up and started playing in my studio. I hadn't planned to start a new quilt (I was intending to actually finish some of the several nearly-finished ones that need backing) but began rummaging through some scraps and before I knew it I'd made a couple of these log cabin blocks. I was on a roll, so just kept going! I'm not sure where this will end up - either I'll make a load more and sew them into this light/dark diagonal colourway, or I might mix them up with some half square triangles (I spotted this quilt by April Two Eighty on Pinterest and am quite inspired to do something similar...) I'll keep you posted!

In progress - shirting scraps baby quilt

This is the front of a baby quilt I still need to finish. It's made with scraps left over from the wedding quilt I made for my friends Adam and Bex - vintage shirt fabrics from Worn and Washed.

Patchwork draught excluder

When we bought our house, we discovered there was an inch gap at the bottom of the front door. Nearly two years later and it's still there as we've not been able to afford a new front door! My solution? A patchwork draught excluder.  I used strips left over from when I made our wedding bunting, appliqued them onto two long pieces of calico, sewn together into a tube and filled with old plastic carrier bags.  It's pictured here with my muddy pink wellies after a lovely day out walking Doug the Pug.

Adam and Rebecca's wedding quilt

I made this quilt as a present for my school friend Adam's wedding to the lovely Bex.  It uses the same Kaffe Fassett layout as my first quilt.  This quilt is made with recycled blue and white shirting fabric from Worn and Washed Fabrics.

My first quilt

This was my first ever patchwork quilt - a Kaffe Fassett pattern from his book 'Glorious Patchwork' which I've since used quite a few times (including a blue and white shirting version for a wedding quilt for my friends Adam and Bex).
