Just recently I posted photos of my winning ribbons at our local quilt show. A mini log cabin came in second. I say mini because the blocks were 3 inches square but the final quilt was @54" wide. It won second in it's category. The best ribbon I have ever won. A friend on facebook said she loved it and wanted it. Not only did it take over a year to make out of scraps, it was paper pieced, which required a lot of mess to pull the 1/4" paper strips off the back. She wanted it as a throw. I told her, I keep all my winners.
