Really nice!! Love the pink/mauve-green combo. Love it so much, I made 3 log cabins with it. Noooo, I really didn't love it 'that' much...but that's how many times it took me to get the 'light-dark' needed for the log cabin coloring to show up nicely. The log cabin was my first quilt because I was told how 'easy' it was to do. They were right. It is. However, I didn't fully understand the 'light-dark' concept. My lights and darks were of the same values for both the light and dark, and therefore no real 'pop'. I made a second log cabin, and again the colors were basically the same value. Both values were darker than the first quilt but again, because they were of the same color value...no 'pop'. I asked a co-worker and she told me to be sure that my 'lights' were light, and my 'darks' were dark. Wa-la!!!! I got the 'third-times-the-charm'! So for any new-b's to quilting doing a log cabin, your quilt is a good example on that! Very pretty!

We are the happy couple that proudly received this beautiful quilt, and we love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have it at the end of our bed and looks great with my bedding. My husband specially liked the label with our name on it. When we wrap ourselves with it we feel the love and effort you put into making it and we appreciate it very much. Once again thank you very much and yes we were surprised.
