wonky xmas log cabin block

this is my first wonky log cabin block for quilt dad's "wonky log cabin quilt along." i like it. maybe i should have cut it a little more wonky instead of having that left bottom corner be a true corner. i just noticed that looking at the photo. hmm...oh well...

i started on the next two blocks and the one is REALLY wonky so far. more like a parallelogram at this point, so there will be quite a different white sashing on that block. i'll post photos later when i'm done, although it may not be tonight. i've got a boy scout registration meeting tonight for boo and then tomorrow night is boo's school orientation. and i need to grocery shop, but can't with all the meetings after work.

AND my brand new dryer still doesn't work. but after lowe's brought us a replacement new dryer and that one didn't work at my house, but it did in the store, it's been deemed that i have an electrical problem of some sort. of course, the landlord isn't returning phone calls after we had a shower leak two weeks ago. but it was really leaking for a few months and he just didn't respond to our requests until he came to the house wanting to know if we're still interested in purchasing it from him. we are...we know there are quirks and we know we have things to make it ours. we just won't be buying it until he has the electrical issue fixed now. plus, i don't think the VA would really want to lend us money on a house with an electrical issue that causes us not be dry our washed clothes. or quilts.
