Ever Try An "Easy Quilt Pattern",That Was Anything But?
#1
Had always admired log cabin quilts.So after getting my feet wet by piecing a couple tops,it was time to make my fav.
A mag article saying log cabin quilts were soooo easy & great for beginners was all it took.
Knowing nothing about fabric grain,squaring blocks or using a quarter inch seam...a straight seam, you can imagine the results.
It was a few yrs & a few quilts later before I stopped admiring long enough to admit what a wonky quilt it was.
That was 20 yrs ago & I've never had the nerve to make another LC:-)
