log cabin: barn raising set
hi!
long before i ever knew how to sew i loved log cabin quilts.
so finally after 20 years of sewing and quilting i attacked the hoard and made the quilt i had dreamed about. it is full of fabrics from my life and my daughter's life: dresses, other quilts made for ourselves and others, fabric purchased at places that in retrospect marked times in my life, and two bought just for this project (the borders).
i am pleased with it, maybe more so with any other i have made. it is completed quilt number 8, and a treasure.

back, all fabric made into pyjamas over the years

block detail

label with name. i always name the quilts. i dunno....seems like a fitting conclusion

Love it! I agree with you that log cabin quilts are the best. Yours has the advantage of being made with fabric that has meaning for you and your daughter--what a family heirloom! In that close up picture, I see a fabric that I have, too! What a great way to save pieces of those fabrics for yourself. I may have to put this idea on my to-do list. Beautiful job.
