Floral Log Cabin
 
2 Attachment(s)
I must be feeling brave to try to post my latest quilt. I saw this pattern on here when Karla posted her floral log cabins in quilts, wall hangings and tablerunners and fell in love. Started collecting floral fabrics as I found them on sale or clearance and assorted white tone on tones. Finally got it finished and quilted last week. She has been such a help and encouragement as I was working on it.

The strangest thing though, when I first got it back, I was disappointed in how it was quilted. I don't know if I was just over-excited about getting it finished or what. It took me a few days to think it through and come to the conclusion that I really do like it. And, I took it with me to my church quilting group to see what they thought too. Their positive reaction helped a bunch.

Anyway, this is it. The quilting pattern is butterflies in variegated thread.

The quilt is outstanding!! The white makes the colors sparkle! I love LC and love to make them, it's relaxing to me to put the pattern together, especially in a scrappy look. Wow, it's lovely.

I love your florals. They really stand out with your whites. I like the butterflies too, they add more fun. I agree with nunnyJo.

What I tell my Mom when she starts a new quilt.... Wow, I don't have one like that. It is really beautiful. Love the colors, and there are always butterflies flying around!

Lady Jane 03-28-2012 05:48 AM

Oh soooo pretty, I have to make one in florals . I have done a lot of Log Cabins , but never like this.

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous...but that word does not even do it justice...stunning, beautiful...well, you get the idea.

mhansen6 03-28-2012 06:20 AM

Wow you did a great job. I love the butterfly quilting. It reminds me of a summer flower garden.

Mariposa 03-28-2012 06:21 AM

Beautiful quilt! The florals help give a soft touch, and the butterfly quilting is a terrific addition! :)

dunster 03-28-2012 06:30 AM

Beautiful! I think butterflies go very well with the flowers.

Stunning;log cabins are one of my favorites

gin7 03-28-2012 06:37 AM

Be very proud of the quilt. It is beautiful.

feline fanatic 03-28-2012 06:46 AM

First I don't understand why you need to feel brave to post such a pretty quilt. We love all quilts here! And yours is certainly no exception. You did a wonderful job and I can't imagine not liking this quilt.

I am glad the quilting grew on you. I think a butterfly panto is quite fitting given the floral fabric motif you chose and from what I can see it looks quite nice. Would you elaborate why you didn't like it at first and why it took other people saying they liked it to get you to like it? Did you have input on the quilting design or did you give your LA quilter freedom to quilt with any design she chose? As someone taking their first steps in LAing business your reply would be very helpful. Thanks.

Raggiemom 03-28-2012 06:50 AM

Very pretty! :)

valleyquiltermo 03-28-2012 06:51 AM

Beautiful quilt! :thumbup: You have inspired me. I am going to have to try my hand at a scrappy log cabin.

BrendaK 03-28-2012 07:19 AM

Log Cabin one of my favorites. This is stunning. Maybe I'll try it in floral. How many pieces? Looks like many more pieces than the one I did. BrendaK.
