Progress


In all my years of quilting, I have never made a log cabin quilt.  I don't know what the hesitation was but I'm so glad I finally decided to try it.  I am finished with the 50 blocks and now have to work on setting triangles, corner triangles and borders.  I'm loving the way it is all coming together.  I can see more log cabin quilts in the future.  It is such a great way to use up scraps.  What are you working on today?

Hugs,

    The Log Cabin was my very first Quilt in a Day quilt. I loved Eleanor Burns technique and have used her QIAD method for over 20 years. Today I am working on binding some unfinished projects :-)

    Beautiful. The log cabin pattern is one of my all time favorites. I don't think I've ever seen a log cabin quilt I haven't liked.

    Your log cabin quilt looks great, nice contrast of colours. Your daughter looks beautiful all dress up in her special dress.

    I have never made a Log Cabin, but have had it on my list for a long time. I love, love, love the colors you went with. I am thinking the Log Cabin will move up on my list.

    It is so pretty. I love the way you have arranged the blocks. I'm working on the backing for a quilt top I just finished up. For some reason the top was quicker than the backing. go figure!

    Log cabin quilts have always been one of my favorite patterns. One of my first quilts was a log cabin.
