Just beautiful. The colors are gorgeous.

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors
|
If you used the pattern from a book, do they show how they quilted it? You could google quilting patterns for log cabin quilts or look in Log Cabin quilt books at the library or LQS for ideas.
Your quilt is really beautiful. |
OMG that is gorgeous. I would diffently keep it for myself :thumbup: I envey such talent :mrgreen:
LOL Liz |
:thumbup: BEAUTIFUL!!!
|
Beautiful quilt! Not sure how to quilt it. Liked the looks of the feathers though! Great job!
|
wow that is a beautiful quilt!!!!
|
Simply stunning!!! Love those colors and the star border.
|
It's a beauty.
|
Again, WOW!! I think that feathers wiuld be awesome on the center of the quilt. They aren't that hard to do. I would outline each star. Have fun!
|
I like the rule-of-thumb; quilt every fist size. Try counted cross stitch design by hand with a multi-color metalic thread (usually for embrodery machines, but I have had good results with it.
SEWTOO |
What a beauty. Love to see it when you finish. Love the feather pattern.
|
Absolutely gorgeous. Only in my dreams could I do this.
|
Wow!!! was also my first word, when I saw your picture. I love log cabins and your colors are outstanding
|
I love all the warm fuzzy feedback I'm getting. I will think of it often when I get to snuggle under the finished project. Thank you all for your kind words and advice. Sometimes, all it really takes is another pair of eyes. 8-)

I'm new to quilting and really can't help, but youv'e come to the right place to ask, everyone here are very helpful. I just wanted to say how nice your quilt is :-) :thumbup:
|
I am pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and willingness of board members to share their expertise. I'm sorry I didn't start following along sooner. And, the compliments inspire me to do more (and post more pictures --- LOL!) :lol:

That is beautiful...wow...that is so breathtaking...I am hoping that someday I can make a Quilt like that.
|
But, you can make this quilt, Beginnerquilter! The very first quilt I ever made was a log cabin, but that was a long time ago. I work mostly w/ scraps -- I find they're much more forgiving of my shortcomings when it comes time to put the whole thing together!! Paper piecing really does make for some spectacular looking quilts. Have you tried that yet?
|
Ooooo - I want it! It's just gorgeous!! I'm off to my sewing room to stroke some fabric :D
|
I haven't done any type of Quilting at all...the only thing that I have done was hand quilt on a baby quilt but that was it.
|
Why not give it a try? The log cabin is an excellent pattern to learn on --- lots and lots of seams, so you'll have that 1/4" down pat by the time you finish your first lap quilt. And, if you use bits and pieces, you won't feel so bad like you've dipped into your "good" stash of fabric.
|
I do need to make one but it can't be any smaller than 12 x 12 or 24 x 24 and I need something easy to start out with. I do have some material to start out with but I need to Iron it first too.
|
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who took the easy route or pattern for her first quilt! Mine was a Lone Star! I have learned to think a little before I jump these days!
|
Not knowing your level of machine quilting I love the idea of the feathers, too. For me the size of the quilt and complexity would dictate if I'd tackle it myself or send it off. So far all of my quilts have been quilted by me, but I stick to smaller ones. Anything larger than a twin, I think or with feathers would probably go off to a long-arm quilter.
Wonderful quilt top by the way! |
Dunster you do Beautiful work I've been looking at all of them but on this one the little squares did you cut them that small and then sew them together. I'm new at this I thought I would ask.
|
Beautiful quilt, and lots of work. I don't have any words of wisdom about quilting the top. But a flower design would be very pretty on this top. Johnnie

beautiful, thanks for sharing
