I have been quilting for a long time (40 years). Most of my quilts go to family when I am done with them. I am looking for a pattern made from the log cabin pattern but it makes a butterfly instead of the traditional log cabin.

Hello Lou and welcome. I haven't seen a log cabin quilt that makes a butterfly, but I will search the web and see what I can find and let you know. What part of Wyoming are you in.

Hello & Welcome Lou from the Piedmont of North Carolina.

Welcome from St. Louis! :lol:
For your log cabin, do you mean the Courthouse Steps configuration? :?

Hi and welcome from Canada :)

Hi and welcome! I have not seen that pattern, but it sounds pretty.

Thanks for the link to the vntage quilt. I have that pattern, it works up quite pretty. The one I'm looking for is the log cabin but the way you position it makes the butterfly. It takes 4 blocks to make the butterfly but the wings are curved. If and when we (I) find it, I will post a picture. The 4 blocks were on display at a place I was at and the clerk said the book was sold out and they never got another. I appreciate all your help.

Hi and welcome from Washington Lou.

Hi and Welcome from southern Indiana!

Sorry I cannot help you with the pattern but I did want to say HI and welcome to the board

mkanderson, the picture for your id brings back so many memories, grandmas garden is the first quilt I ever made, I hand stitched every block and my mother and I quilted it, the year was 1963 and I was a senior in high school. Thank you. Thanks to everyone that has welcomed me also.

Thank you. I like to work with the hexagons! That one I hand pieced and had a lady to Long Arm Quilt it for me. That was the second one I had done at the time and now have done about 4 more. Working on a Field of Diamonds witht he hexagons now. I have one that is a Trip Around the World done in the hexagons and I hand pieced and hand quilted it.

That is cool. I no longer can handpiece and my stitches aren't very neat anymore but I still like to quilt and my family doesn't complain. My fingers are bent and they don't close on the needle very good. I admire quilters, they are in a family of our own.

Hi Lou welcome I'm from Wyoming too. This is a great website lots of good people and ideas.

I am working on a double Irish chain. Linsoblu, where in Wyoming?

Thank you Wisconsin!

I live in Dubois, Wyoming I'm working on finishing some quilt tops for by brother in law his mother made them probably 40 years ago, he wanted them them to fit a queen size, I had to add a bigger border. This is a one time only thing wouldn't do it again not as fun as doing my own. Where are you from in Wyoming?

Hello and welcome from VA

Thanks Machel from VA. Linsoblu I'm from Kemmerer. It never is fun to work on someone elses quilt. My mom started a fan quilt along time ago then my sister in law was going to finish it and one day I was at my brothers house and the pieces were in a bag by the door, I asked her what she was going to do with it and (can you imagine) she was going to throw it away because she never had time to work on it. I took it home and finished it then, everyone wanted it back. I kept it.

That sounds about right no one wants it until someone else finish it. Know how that goes finished a table no one wanted after it was done well it was a different story. Glad you joint us.
