Esther Grace's Log Cabin Quilt
 
5 Attachment(s)
This is the newest quilt I have made. I made it for my grandaughter, Esther Grace, who is going to be 3 yrs old in May. She loves butterflies, pink & purple. She was born weighing just 1# 5 oz. She is our miracle child. Esther Grace is now just over 22 # and is right up w/other children her age, except for size. Our little "Peanut". Anyway, for her Bday, she is getting this BIG GIRL quilt from Gma B.

I am teaching a class on the Log Cabin Quilt and how to make it Quilt-as-you-go. I LOVE this method. Hope you enjoy looking.

Very pretty!! We had a preemie grandaughter, too, who is now 20 years old. She was 2lb 14oz at birth, and was in NICU for 6 weeks. They are like miracles, aren't they??

Can you give the name of the pattern and size. I love it and have been wanting to learn how to do it.

Love your/her quilt. Really like the colors and the butterflies. She will love it! My preemie GD was 1.4 and now 19 mths. She was in the hospital 3 1/2 mths. Mother was 24 weeks along and went into seizure, almost lost both. Thank God for miracles!

That is a beautiful quilt and quilting. I am also the grandmother of two preemies one weighing in a 1# 3 oz, stayed in the hospital 3 months. Can't remember what the second weighed in at, but he is now 9 and looks like he is three; still have some development problems, but does well in school and with basketball. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Maureen, I DID make it QAYG, from working out the pattern based on others that I have seen and still others that I have made previously. I LOVE it that way, since I am no longer able to hand quilt due to my left thumb/hand not being able to stand the pressure any more. (Old age, I guess.) I cannot afford a LAQ for all the quilts that I make, I made 10 last yr., ALL QAYG (Sorry LAQ girls & guys) So I had to figure out something more "affordable". AND, when I get done w/the top, I only have to put the binding on and the quilt is FINISHED!!!!!!

The pattern is the LOG CABIN, and it is in the BARN RAISING design. I am teaching a class at church to several ladies and 1 man on this design. Some of them are using the Barn Raising design and others are laying it out differently. Very BEAUTIFUL quilts, I must say. Each color scheme is so DIFFERENT.
