Round #5 - Partial Log Cabins

We are getting close to the end of the Stay at Home Round Robin!  Today it is Brenda's turn to tell us what to add to our quilts.  Brenda chose partial log cabin blocks.  You may want to do quarter log cabins, or you may want to use half log cabins.

 

Because I am doing my SAHRR sampler-style this year, I wanted blocks that stood well on their own.  Log cabins and their variation usually gain impact by being combined together; I needed something that didn't need multiple similar blocks together.  The first block I chose is a sort of log cabin flower.  I consider this a half log cabin because you build the block on two sides of center, as opposed to all four sides in a traditional log cabin.

For my second block, I made a log cabin heart.  I'm calling this a half log cabin because in my mind, the block is half heart, half log cabin!  You can interpret the prompt many different ways; that's part of the fun!
