We were asked to design a block using HSTs (one of my ultime fav design elements) and log cabins, the original trendy block!
One of the reasons I loved the fabric I was sent, Sleeping Beauty by Nel Whatmore, was because I got one of the pieces that is technically a strip but it is so big I could use different parts as different colour patches. The orange fabric came from there.
What I came up with is what I`ve called Bear Cabin! Can you see why?
You can download the pattern sheet here. If you have any question just sent me an e-mail! I'm happy to help!
Make sure you check out Heather's block tomorrow! She is one creative lady!

What a great block!......if I wasn't so scared of triangles I might try making one!
OOh fantastic block Cara. I really like this one. Thank you.
Nice block and great name!! I really like it.
I really like your block! Just one observation... I think the second orange strip should be 6 1/2" x 2" rather than 7". I should have a pic of my block up sortly! :-) Thanks!
ooops I meant the 7 1/2"!!
I can't wait to do your block, but it will have to wait until I return from vacation. I only have the first 5 done so far, but I'm getting there.
That block is stunning, great job. I am really enjoying all the different blocks, thanks for sharing.
I love your block!! I'm saving them all to do when I have more fee time.
thanks for the block Cara - looks good
I did mine this afternoon and I have a query. When cutting the 4" squares, shouldn't it be 6 cream, 4 orange and 2 red as opposed to 6:3:3? I ended up with a spare pair of red/cream HST's
Your block is beautiful! Apparently you do well under pressure. ;)
