SAHRR Cowboy Panel Update

Hi! I hope that you are well and enjoying the weekend. We've had a lovely quiet day so since I had a bit of time, I was able to add three blocks to the cowboy panel and write this short post😊.

Cowboy panel blocks

As you may have seen in my last post and around the internet, week 5's block is a half or quarter log cabin. I made a quarter log cabin block and then realised that I had made two of these last week as insert blocks. In the image below, you can see on the right the three quarter log cabin blocks. One has two cows with dots while the other has a horse and then another cow.

Thirteen blocks made so far

Since I love them so much, I made a real log cabin block to change things up. It's so much fun featuring interesting fabrics in the middle.

Then I decided to make another insert block that doesn't look like a log cabin. This is one of my favourite fabrics so it's great to have another block with horses. It was also a great way to add the gray fabric into another block.

So far, here's what's happening:

Week 1: 2 Art Square blocks
Week 2: 1 Friendship star block (with HSTs) and 1 framed fabric block
Week 3: 2 Nine patch star blocks and 1 framed pocket block
Week 4: 3 Insert blocks, but two are more like Quarter Log Cabin blocks
Week 5: 1 Quarter Log Cabin block, 1 Log Cabin block and 1 Insert block

It's difficult to know how each week's blocks will related to each other since we only find out on Monday about the upcoming week. That's ok since blocks can fit in more than one categories. I figure that I have another 5 blocks to make to go around this panel. I'm really looking forward to Monday to see what our last block is.

I don't have much to add about what I learned so I'm going to leave this post as is, except to include Related links and linking parties.
