That is one fantastic quilt. Beautiful colors, and the log cabin is a true "quilters' quilt in my opinion. Look at how the pattern comes out, with such a simple set of blocks. You really did a beautiful job! Did you do the piecing and quilting yourself? I'd love to see a close up on the quilting, and a shot of the backing that you chose!

marykoch 12-16-2009 06:27 AM

I just did the piecing of it myself but not the quilting. It was hanad quilted be a church froup & when I get a picture of the quilting I will post it.

grammy Dwynn 12-16-2009 07:44 AM

marvelous, simply marvelous

mytwopals 12-16-2009 08:51 AM

Nice job. My next quilt will be a log cabin. :thumbup:

barnbum 12-16-2009 09:23 AM

Gorgeous! It's so warm looking!

n2scraplvr 12-16-2009 09:39 AM

You did great, Mary! You have a wonderful eye for color and I just love how it's not in need of a bed skirt that it almost touches the floor! Welcome to the board from VA! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Deara 12-16-2009 09:52 AM

My, that is pretty.
For a first pieced quilt you have done a wonderful job.
Love your color combinations.

Welcome to the board.

I agree, I love the length going all the way to the floor. Some of that will disappear (a couple inches?) when it is quilted but still, magnificent! I always make my quilts for my beds a bit bigger than the pattern calls for because I love it when it drapes over the edges of the bed.

Sandy1951 12-16-2009 01:33 PM

Welcome, Mary! :D

I can't believe that's your first pieced quilt. It's so beautiful and I agree with the others that the colors are perfect. Wonderful job! :thumbup:

marykoch 12-16-2009 01:44 PM

This was taken after it was quilted. I turn that binding uner so wouldn't lose that much.

momto4 12-16-2009 02:37 PM

Wow adopt me!!!!

jljack 12-16-2009 03:24 PM

I LOVE these colors. They look so "authentic"....like made in a prairie home. Really beautiful and cozy.

Lneal 12-16-2009 03:55 PM

Your quilts are outstanding!! How long have you been working on these beauties?

Janstar 12-16-2009 03:59 PM

Great job and such warm inviting colors!

marykoch 12-16-2009 04:46 PM

I started piecing them three years ago. I did a block of the month first & that is what got me started.
