Hand Quilted Log Cabin Diamond Star
 

I posted this quilt earlier last autumn, when it was just a top. Some of you requested to see the finished product after it was quilted, so here it is. Those of you with experience in hand quilting will appreciate the following; it took 440 yards of thread to stitch in every ditch and do all the cross-hatch and feathers on the corners and borders. I did not quilt it; my MIL, who is my partner in these quilts, hired a local Mennonite lady to do the stitching for us. The pattern originates with Dunster, who has copies of the pattern if you want to buy it. We enjoyed this so much that we made a second quilt top with similar colors, and that is now sent out to be quilted too. Hope you enjoy looking. I'll post photos of the whole thing, plus the corner and the back so you can see the beautiful stitching.

Wow, just beautiful! And the quilting is outstanding, too. I think I was one who wanted to see the final, so thanks for posting the pictures :)

Love this log cabin quilt. the colors are excellent together, the piecing is perfect and of course the hand quilting is exquisite. The Mennonites are wonderful hand quilter and I am been lucky enough to see them in the midst of their work. We had Mennonites and Amish not far from where I lived in Kentucky. We purchased food at their stores, clothing and yes even some of their quilts. Thanks for sharing.
