A while back I posted my ready to quilt top. Well, it's done, just in time for my parents' anniversary.

I found the flannel back to be tricky to work with, but I love how soft and cozy the finished quilt is.

It's all free-motion, improv quilting, meaning I did it with the feed dogs down, and never marked the top, just doodled all over in a semi-organized and planned way.

I did match my thread to the predominant fabric in each area, and the backing, with the green flannel, has green thread. I ran into a few tension problems, with "eyelashing" but I decided to just keep going, and after washing, none of it even shows.

I like the slightly puckery texture of the washed quilt--makes it very tactile and comfy. And this is one where very heavy quilting does not translate to a stiff quilt. This thing is made for wrapping up and cuddling.

Very, very pretty. I have always wanted to make a log cabin quilt. I bought the Eleanor Burns log cabin book years ago,but have never made it. I feel somewhat motivated now, so maybe after the holidays, I will finally do it.

Suzy -- do go for it. Log cabin blocks are amazingly forgiving. Giving away secrets here, but my quilt has some seriously wonky strips. I used some 2 inch strips, some 1 and some 1 1/4 plus some 1 1/2. Just whatever was in my scraps pile from previous quilts. I don't pre-cut the strips -- sew first, then cut, then trim to size. The only rules I had for myself going in were that I would not have two consecutive logs out of the same fabric, but that each layer was a unified color. And even that rule, I broke a few times.

Seriously, this is such a flexible block, you can just play and mess around until you like the finished effect.
