I really like this. Log cabins are so easy to piece and the quilting is great.

It is lovely Rebecca and I know the military person that received it is thrilled with it and is thankful that someone thought so much of him or her to make this wonderful quilt. Thank you.

I got carried away & made too many blocks, thus having leftovers. I decided these would make a nice QOV so I whipped up a lap-sized top & my LA'er did a FABULOUS job of quilting feathers in the muslin part of the blocks. I called it "Leftover Blues" & hope that it's warming the heart & body of an injured troop to this day. It's nothing fancy but I kind of liked it & thought I'd show it to you (so y'all know that I actually produce quilts from time to time... LOL!).
