Gorgeous quilt. Great job. Two inch strips are perfect for a king. Good luck.

Your log cabin turned out beautiful. The small strips really help the colors merge.
|
Beautiful Log Cabin!! On my 'list'!
|
Beautiful!!! This is on my to do list but have not tried yet. I keep thinking it is too hard.
Even purchased the die from Accuquilt. I know I must try though. Thanks for sharing. |
very nice quilt i like your colors!!!!!
|
It's beautiful but I can't imagine doing 1" strips. Wow!
|
Yes, I can imagine. 1152 strips and 144 2 inch squares.... LOL. I only know that because I just made a king size log cabin quilt for my brother... LOL
|
Lovely quilt and I would never have guessed it was from scraps! I agree if you use wider strips the king would not take
so long. The chain piece method makes it go faster too! |
The quilt is beautiful and shows you are very talented. I have just started quilting and love doing it. Hope to become as good as you some day, but it is a learn as you go and self taught thing. Thanks so much for sharing.

That is beautiful! I love the log cabin pattern and I love your colors. I just ordered the Accuquilt Go along with a couple dies and can't wait for it to arrive. Love HSN easy payment plan.

Your quilt is GREAT. Also gives me encouragement as I really am a newbey. Question, where in Northern California. My hub worked for PG&E and we lived all over in NE California, including Weaverville. Sherry

Love the colors...I think I might try one, thanks for sharing.

I love the decorative stitching you did along the outside of each block, makes me think of the crazy quilt tradition. The stitches were especially effective I think because you used smaller strips. I love making log cabin quilts but the larger the strips the less effective I think the design and level of sophistication. I think your marathon of sewing is amazing to finish so quickly. I generally use inch and a half strips and have other projects going as I will cut during daylight and sew at night watching television to keep things relaxed but moving along. I have never really used chain piecing and I should but am afraid I could turn strips the wrong way cuz if there is a way to make a mistake, I will make it.
I love the colors and wonderful fabrics you used and I think your work is truly meticulous. Congratulations, I can't wait to see your finished quilt for your bed. Thank you |
It's beautiful and the colors are perfect. You did a great job. Funny...I just posted my first log cabin today, too...ha.
|

This demonstrates why we shouldn't throw our scraps away. You did a wonderful job.

I love the colors. It is beautiful. Aw c'mon, jump in there. Make the big one :-)

I love your fabrics and layout! Awesome job!
|
you did a good job. I like the colors.
|
Lovely, lovely!
|
great scrappy log
|
That is great I love your colors! And a king size one in 2" strips would not take as long as you think !! Great job!
|
Very nice! The King size would be beautiful too-just think of making several small ones like this and eventually you will have the king size. :>)
|
Beautiful! I really do love the Log Cabin pattern :thumbup:
|
It would be a pain, but just think how amazing it would look!
Love your quilt! |
Lovely !!! Ask him if he wants to cut all those 1" strips to help you out .. LOL

I love Log Cabin quilts and yours is great. Ranchwife....your scrap quilts are great also. Thanks for sharing.
|
Nicely done!! Perhaps tell hubby that a king-sized quilt made with such small strips would be pretty heavy!
|
That is beautiful!!! Isn't amazing how much fabric you have on hand....you did a GREAT job!!!
