    I am making this Log Cabin (my first) for a friend that is retiring. What do you think?

    Very nice...looks like all the squares are square and in the right order (always a challenge for me!) and you colors are perfect!! Great quilt so far!

    I am aiming for an oversized lap. She has sectional furniture, so I wanted it to be big enough for her to drape over herself when she is lounging around once she retires..lol..I am not sure about the borders as of yet but would love any suggestions..

    Very pretty! I love log cabin-it's my favorite block. I think a plain narrow border would look good, but that's just me.

    As for suggestions for a border.. I like piano key borders with log cabin quilts.
