Well they aren't kids. They just finished building a really nice log home. I thought some bright colors would be in order for the log walls. I bought enough to make the pillowcases and the shams too, but, I haven't started those yet. What do you think? (That is an extra quilt under the bed .. It gets cold here at night.)

I love the words in the fabric so perfect for the occation. This was a block of the month I bought all at once as a kit from my local quilt shop. That owner is the best! She was so nice to let me have it all at once.

ps) I tried to fix it, but, the colors are kind of wonky. That is a much nicer teal blue than that.

Truly another work of art produced! I just love what glorious talent abounds!!

Very nice! I'm sure the "kids" will love it.

Ah Red

It's georgous - you really do turn out some beautiful work. You kids will love it - I know I'd be so proud to receive it if I was the recipient.
Don't forget to post pics of the Shams & Pillowcases when you've finished them.

This is beautiful. I really love the colors, they are so vibrant!

:oops: Thanks so much girls, your the best! I try as hard as I know how to do each time. But, I see a star tip sewn off in my close up pic ... opps! ha ha ha ... Oh well!

FABULOUS colors & fabulous job making it! I see NO star tips off! The colors should be absolutely perfect in the setting they are going to.

GREAT JOB!!

Thanks riley! Here is a couple pics of the house while they were building it. I am just so proud of them for finishing it in such a short time. The interior is all logs and rustic.

Gorgeous quilt to go in a Gorgeous house!!

Beautiful quilt and nice house too! :lol: Where is it? How far away from you are they?

It is in a city called kila, montana. Not too far from Glacier.

They are thirteen hours from me. I wish I could get up there to see them for a visit and take this in person. I think maybe I will have to soon. I will check on a flight. I am not that adventurous anymore to drive it by myself. Hubby is a workaholic and won't take any time off.

Anyone heard of McKenna Ryan, the art quilt designer? She lives very near them. I would love to visit her shop. I know she has a site on line, does she have a physical shop?

WOOHOOO!!!! :P :P :P

Lovely quilt and such beautiful colors!!

Beautiful quilt!

lovely...is that applique on the border? nice colors

Wow that is really beautiful! And what a nice house warming gift too!

What a lovely quilt. I am sure they will love it.

Took another look at the quilt and the borders! Wow, I noticed the words and the piecing and lovely colors, but the Borders! WOW! It truly is a gorgeous quilt! :lol:
Stand up and take a bow! :lol:

Red this quilt is stunning, the kids are bound to love it :D :D :D

p.s. LOVE the log home...we applied and had plans drawn up to import a Canadian Log home, my DH even went out to Newfoundland to see where they are made, but unfortunately Spanish local council wouldn't allow wooden structure as a permanent build boo hoo!! I so wanted to live in a log home, please post more pictures of it as they progress :D

Gorgeous quilt. They will love it. A great quilt for a log cabin.

Beautiful quilt to go in a beautiful house. We have been looking at log homes too.

OK, I give -- why no wooden structures for homes???

The quilt will really brighten up that beautiful home!

Love it! I went through Hurricane Charlie in a log cabin, and it was the only home left standing. They are the best!

I wonder how long before they will be asking for log cabin patterned quilts to go with that beauty.

That is stunning!! I love looking at it!!

Oh thanks so much everyone! I have only once stopped in my tracks over a hanging quilt top in a quilt store and this was it. When I saw the fabric had all those wonderful words on it, I knew exactly who I would make it for and give it to. So perfect for the house warming gift.

No ruth there is no hand applique on the quilt. There is lots of fussy cut blocks and the five large all differently pieced basket blocks. Lots of bias edges in these blocks I had to be real careful with my pressing! I love the unusual setting. I wish I could have hung it up for you to see, it has lots of secondary patterns going on.

Thanks so much for enjoying the quilt. I am happy with it. Now just to get it quilted and sent.

The house is finished now. That was the old pics they sent me. I can't find the new finished ones.

Lovely quilt and gorgeous house too.

I really like McKenna Ryan's patterns and have an OWL one on order right now.....

Beautiful job!! They'll love it.

:oops: Thanks so much!

Beautiful. I love it and I bet they do too.

That is a really special quilt Red. Your kids are going to love it and it's perfect for their new home. Love log houses!

Thank you girls! :D :D

Awesome quilt, and beautiful colors! This will be a family treasure!

Oh my Gosh!! Your quilt is absolutely beautiful, I love the colors & the pattern too. It will really add to the log cabin look & walls. You should be quite proud of yourself & your work!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Job well done!!
:D :D :D

Can you hear me whistle.....that is a beauty!!!!.......your gonna have it done in record time.....:-)

That's beautiful Red - maybe you can post a pic when it's in situ in their log cabin?! :D
