this block’s heading to hawaii! (can i justify hand-delivering it?)

i was lucky enough to spend some time yesterday morning and this morning in my craft room.  i love spending time in there.  i lose track of time and my brain gets totally soaked in whatever project i’m working on and i always leave the room feeling so much calmer.  i wanted a pretty short, immediate-gratification project, so i brought out this month’s common threads fabrics from amber in hawaii.

although they seem to be all the rage these days, i haven’t personally done a lot of “plan as you go” log cabin blocks, so this one was fun for me. after i chose my center image (love that birdy fabric with the line drawing flowers!) i just started building, one side at a time. and i only had to rip out one seam for a re-do. i hope you like it, amber!

i love how this flower ended up looking like it was wearing a roof for a hat!
