ScrapHappy Saturday - Catching up on UFOs

I got some more blue blocks made while I was working on a UFO. After finishing the basket quilt top last week, I dug out a log cabin UFO to figure out why it got stuck. I had started enough blocks, but then got stuck when I ran out of light colored logs. Once I cut a few more of those, I was good to go and quickly finished up enough blocks for the full sized quilt that is in my mind for the main bedroom at the cabin. 
I really wanted to a barn raising layout, but there isn't really enough space to lay it all out at once. Instead I settled in this alternating light and dark diamond layout. I can lay out a set of 16 blocks and then sew those together pretty quickly. The blocks finish at 7 inches each and I need enough for a king sized bed with a good amount of overhang which should make the layout about 15 by 15. What is going on in your sewing room this weekend?

Good work, you still have a bit to go for you to get to 15*15 blocks. . I’ll be cheering you on

I really like that layout! I think the third block from the right on the bottom row needs to be rotated counter-clockwise.

I much prefer the layout you've chosen over the barn raising set. Congrats on making such good scrappy progress, Angela! I'll be working on finishing up my PQ 16.3 challenge entry today. Scrappy BLUE, of course!
