I did the log cabin blocks but the others are from a B & W block swap from another board. I just got this back from the quilter today and I need to add the binding then I will give it to my co -workers 12 yr old daughter, they lost their house in a fire a month ago and there were several gifts for her little sister from people at work but no so much for Megan so I decided to finish this and give to Megan.

She will love it because its "cool" and at 12 being cool is what its all about. I think its beautiful and thank you for helping them out get a new start. Its not easy starting over. Every kind gesture counts.

NorBanaquilts 01-10-2010 01:09 PM

Wow, she's gonna love it!

Bobbinwinder 01-10-2010 01:17 PM

Very attractive arrangement...yes, it is waaaaay cool enough for a 12 year old...hey, I'm not anywhere near 12 and I love it. Very nice of you to notice that this girl needed something special...she'll remember your caring whenever kindness is discussed....quilts are soft but they make deep impressions!

some of that looks strangely familiar LOL

mgrhs 01-10-2010 01:21 PM

I also "borrowed" the layout of the quilt from the other board

JJs 01-10-2010 01:26 PM

it looks great - using the two different types of log cabins makes it look totally different....

Nice!!! great 'tween' quilt, and how much Megan will treasure it!!

lisalovesquilting 01-10-2010 02:06 PM

She will love it and most likely treasure it all her life.

I love the spare use of the colors. They really pop out.

hereca622 01-10-2010 02:16 PM

The quilt is beautiful and what a wonderful gift to brighten a young lady's life.

What a great gift for Megan! I am sure she is going to treasure it. It will bring her some comfort after such a horrible situation.

earthwalker 01-10-2010 02:58 PM

This is very, very, cool....Lucky Megan. The sparing use of the accent colours is just perfect. This is a total triumph!

nursie76 01-10-2010 03:00 PM

So sweet of you to notice that Megan didn't get quite as much and for doing something about it. You rock!

MamaBear61 01-10-2010 03:28 PM

She is going to love, love, love it, and love you for thinking of her

Pam S 01-10-2010 04:19 PM

You are going to make a 12 year olds day!! It's awesome.

I call those Black and White Splash!

Jim's Gem 01-10-2010 04:53 PM

That's beautiful! I love the little touches of color!

maryb119 01-10-2010 04:58 PM

What a thoughtful thing to do! I am sure she will love it. Getting something special just for her will mean so nuch to her.

sandpat 01-10-2010 04:58 PM

That finished up really great and a 12 yr. old will be so happy to give it a great new home! Its so nice of you to think of her. I just know she'll love it!

jacee kay 01-10-2010 05:07 PM

this is a very beautiful quilt.I reallll like it. Is there a pattern for it? I have wanted to do a blk and white quilt. this would be a pretty one.

wildberrytea 01-10-2010 05:10 PM

Black and white with a splash of color. Love this sampler.

mgrhs 01-10-2010 05:14 PM

Thanks everyone....I just finshed the binding as the Packers lost the game. I will be giving this to her mother first thing tomorrow morning.
With this B & W swap we had the option to add a third color if we wished...I really like the little splash of color in the block swaps so I decided to use the purple center for the log cabins.

nellebelles 01-10-2010 06:11 PM

My step-daughter and her husband had a house fire nearly three years ago, and I know how much it means for people like you to be there and be so kind. And what a beautiful quilt you are giving to that little girl. She will love it forever! Bless you!

RedGarnet222 01-10-2010 06:34 PM

How sweet of you to use your time and talent to try to make this little one feel loved and special after such a terrible loss. Poor kid, she must be feeling pretty lost.

BKinCO 01-10-2010 06:56 PM

Oh I LOVE this!!! It's so neat looking!!!

dunster 01-10-2010 07:16 PM

Your quilt really catches the eye. Great use of color and contrast.

Janstar 01-10-2010 07:24 PM

Great B and W amd the extra color just tops it off. She really will love it!

OdessaQuilts 01-10-2010 08:51 PM

What a nice quilt. Good way to let her know that life isn't necessarily ALL black and white.

Lovely job.

littlehud 01-10-2010 09:22 PM

That is awesome. I love the splashes of color along with the black and white. Great job.

charismah 01-10-2010 11:14 PM

Taht si beautiful...and I know MEgan will love it!

alaskasunshine 01-10-2010 11:23 PM

You made a darling quilt for a little girl that will treasure what you did for her. The Log cabin block additions are wonderful. Years from now she will remember your kindness and be kept warm byher special quilt from you! :D :thumbup:

Barb M 01-11-2010 12:21 AM

Oh that is absolutely gorgeous! And how good of you to notice that sometimes the older child can be taken for granted that they are doing ok. That was so very very kind of you, she will treasure it :)

amma 01-11-2010 12:42 AM

She is going to love her new quilt :D:D:D
It is a beauty!!!

That poor family. What a good soul you are. I love the quilt. Black and white is gorgeous with little pops of color here and there. Lucky little girl. Hugs
