I couldn't help but notice how many times you apologized in this video for explaining the "silly little things" but FYI those things really do add up and sometimes people don't know until they're pointed out. Half the time I felt validated by some little thing you explained that I already knew and the other half of the time I found myself thinking, "Oh, so THAT's why that keeps happening [in whatever way does or doesn't work for me]!" So keep on sharing and explaining away because I, for one, really appreciate the info and seeing how someone else deals with all those little things really does help me improve my own habits and skill sets! 😊❤❤
TY! TY! TY! That's great to hear b/c I realize we've all learned to sew/quilt in very different ways. Anytime I watch someone quilting I'll see a trick that can help me, or at least an awareness of how I may deal with a particular challenge. Recording while I sew brings up lots of these 'little lessons' - I just didn't want to get too far off track! LOL How do you feel about the length of the video? it sure got long quickly. :) Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise I have no problem with the length of the video. To be honest, I often set the playback speed in the settings to the fastest (on virtually all YT videos, not just yours 😉). If I miss anything I can always rewind and replay or slow down, but the more info given means more opportunity for me to learn and hone my own skills, so bring it on! 😁
This is hands down the best video I've seen on building the log cabin! It's all those little things you explain along the way that I've had problems with and didn't know why. Experienced quilters all saying the log cabin "it's the easiest" was so discouraging to me because mine were always a mess (to me anyway) and I couldn't figure out how to make it turn out right!?! Now after hearing you explain how to solve many of those "little things" I'm now confident I can do a beautiful log cabin. Ty Ty Ty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much
You absolutely can, Terri! It's always 'easy' once you know how but it's the getting there that's the challenge. We've all been first-timers so don't be discouraged. Please let me know if there are any other 'little things' you could use some help with. I'll be glad to help! So appreciate your comment! TY 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Girl, are you watching every video from beginning to end? 🤣 If you want a laugh, check out my very first video. It's still on my channel because viewers keep watching it, even though it's very poor quality. That's why I love quilters - they are so forgiving!! Have a great weekend & Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
That's one of my timesaving go-to's! It's quickens the process and creates some great blended fabrics at the same time - a win! win! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks, Cynthia! I'm all about finding a quicker and easier way. The question is whether precutting all those strips is faster than the extra trimming of the strips. The pieced strips are what I particularly like b/c of the fabric variations that occur. Just more fun ideas. :) Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks so much, Sheila! These fabrics are beautiful together and a prefect fit for a log cabin block. Glad you enjoyed the video! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I press every seam and Tim the edges every step of the way. Needless to say it takes me a long fime to finish a top! I appreciated your tips and your way of doing things...thanks for sharing!
Great to hear this tutorial was helpful! I'm always looking for timesaving steps and helpful shortcuts. Once I've decided on what quilt I'm making, I want it finished now! LOL Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks so much, Jess! 😊 These prints work so well together with much more contrast than I expected. It's been a fun quilt to make. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
So glad you like the idea, Marg! The look really appeals to me and makes the block a bit more interesting to look at. Appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I agree with Pooie. I'm listening to all the information because I'm pretty new at learning to make quilts. Thank you for your help. I have a terrible headache trying to figure out backing for my quilt top. YIKES!!
Thanks for following along, Debbie! We'll get to quilt backing soon, but let me know your questions if you'd like some suggestions sooner. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I love all the extra tidbits of information you share along the way. I find each one of these tips just makes me a little better at quilting! Can't wait to see the finished project! Like others have said, the fabric you used is beautiful!
Glad it's helpful, Mary Anne! It does seem that presenting spontaneous lessons as challenging situations arise really works well with quilting. Generally there's always something that comes up with most projects. LOL Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Hi Lea Louise… my titanium blades came today! I saw a #TheFabricHut video demo of them yesterday and they looked awesome. I can’t wait to use them. Thank you again! 🇨🇦
That is awesome, Karen! Sorry for my late response, but your message has been in the 'Hold' folder and I'm only just seeing it. So glad you received you blades and I know you'll enjoy using them. I've been very happy with my set. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Wish I could be of more help, Robbie. I purchased this FQ bundle just this past March but it was released a couple years ago. It's from Quilting at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. No website, but they will cut and ship fabric for phone orders. Originally I was selecting yardage when I found the bundle. So I know they had the entire line on bolts. I will be following QT Fabrics for their future collection releases now that I know how much I enjoy their designs and especially the bold colors. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I watch videos all day long on quilting. I very seldom subscribe. You caught my attention immediately, your enthusiastic personality is so wonderful! I have subscribed and will continue following your channel.
Welcome aboard, Margie and thank you so much for your kind words! I love quilting and sharing my passion makes me very happy. It's humbling to realize how many quilters found and follow my channel. It's also what keeps my enthusiastic inspiration fully charged. LOL I appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I have found the easiest way to figure out where you are when you’re adding strips, you always add on the side that has 2 seams. If you look at your block, there’s always only one side that has 2 seams.
Thanks for the great tip, Bev! It seems silly that we can get lost on such a simple block, but I can't tell you how many times I've added a strip to the wrong side! LOL I have a few blocks in this quilt where I did just that. You'll get to see them in the next video. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

I really like the idea of just connecting the strips.
That's one of my timesaving go-to's! It's quickens the process and creates some great blended fabrics at the same time - a win! win! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
i'm watching and learning.
That's the best way to get started, Wendell! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Very much enjoying your technique of sewing the strips together

Wow beautiful blocks I can’t wait to see the layout. Thank you for sharing God bless you and your family.
Blessings to you! I still haven't decided which layout to go with, simply too many choices. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Love those fabrics!! Thank you for sharing this technique!
Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Thank you. Beautiful blocks. ❤️
They're such fun to make, Evelyn, and so easy using strips! Thanks for following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Love, love, love the fabrics!! And they really shine in the log cabin pattern! Can't wait to see how you lay it out, the possibilities are endless!!
Me too, Tiffany!! So many options to try. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Beautiful.
Thank you!
The blocks have turned out beautifully, thanks for sharing your technique.
Thanks so much, Jess! 😊 These prints work so well together with much more contrast than I expected. It's been a fun quilt to make. Happy Quilting,

Love it. You are so inspiring
Thank you so much, Rhian! These are beautiful fabrics and perfect for this quilt! So glad you enjoyed my tutorial. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Makes sense to join the strips on bias,,blending makes all the difference. Good hint! Thanks. 😀
So glad you like the idea, Marg! The look really appeals to me and makes the block a bit more interesting to look at. Appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,

Wish I could find the fabric . It is great,but alas I have not been that lucky. Love the quilt.
