First Log Cabin quilt finished
 

I started this project on Friday afternoon and just finished it. This is the first log cabin pattern I have made and I did the entire thing with scrap fabric. The closest fabric store is 100 miles away so I had to make due with what I had. I'm very pleased with it, however! I used a walking foot for the first time on this quilt. My husband liked the fabrics and the pattern so much he wants me to make a kig sized quilt. Yeah right. Can you imagine how many 1 inch strips would be needed? :)

beautiful...but if you made two inch strips it would take only half as long!

:) I tried to tell him that, but he really likes the small strips. When I do a larger quilt, I will use wider strips! It was a pain working with 1 inch strips!

Very pretty.

That's fine work.

very pretty

That's great.

Lovely colours. Well done!

Nicely done. Love it.

The fabrics do work together sooooooooooooo nicely. Now for your husband, why not go up to 2" strips, you will be amazed how quickly they will go.

Very pretty, nice job.

you did a beautiful job

Very nice and love the colors! When you get ready to make the other one enlist his help in cutting the strips. ;)

You did a great job! Its always fun working from the stash, too.

Nice work!
I like your colors and yes, 1-inch strips are a pain. So can you show us what these scraps came from? I like your fabrics and would like to see what else you made with them.

that is beautiful and would be very nice in a bed quilt

What a fantastic job. Your colors are great!

Oh, that's so lovely. I keep saying I'm going to make a log cabin, but haven't committed to it as it looks like sooooo much work!

very pretty and a king size would be beautiful

Great job! Love log cabins!

you did a very nice job

I love the fabrics you used. Very pretty!

Looks wonderful. I just bought the log cabin die from accuquilt..I can't wait to get it.

Beautiful, great color choices.

Great job! I LOVE the colors. Thanks for sharing.

Really beautiful!!!!

I love it...

Beautiful quilt.

Love a pretty log cabin!

I love it. Log cabin is one of my all time favorite blocks, so versatile.

Lovely job and beautiful soft, warm colors.

Very very pretty- well done!

Gorgeous! You had just the perfect fabrics to blend together. Love it!

Love the color combination! I agree, making it with the 1" strips takes a lot longer. I'm in the quilting stage of one now that presently measures about 85" X 108" without border or binding and I'll be SO glad when it's done! SOON! lol

I love your beautiful quilt. Job well done. I would tell DH to take you on a fabric buying trip and if he cuts the strips you will make the quilt. He may decide he does not want the quilt so much after all.

Thanks! My mom laughs at my stash because she says it looks like I went to one collection in our quilt store and bought it out. Not quite that bad, but I have always loved the dark reds, browns, tans, golds, greens, and creams - they remind me of the colors of the earth where I live after a rain and make me happy. Here are a few quilts I have made where my stash comes from...

This is my current project - I'm about 75% finished with the hand quilting.

A little runner I made for our 101 year old piano. I don't like this quilt as the pattern book was completely wrong and I ended up buying fabric for it twice. The quality is just not good and my old machine wasn't working right so I just plugged through to get it finished.

It is so pretty. I love Log Cabin quilts. Never saw one that I didn't like.

I actually found it a lot easier to piece the blocks than any other quilt I've made because there are no seams to match up as you make it. Once you start putting the blocks together, there are seams to match, but it isn't bad. I also liked not working with triangles for a change - rectangles are so much easier!

You've made a beautiful quilt!
