This is my first Log Cabin. I call it "Lincoln's Legacy". Please excuse the picture not being that great. I usually get Jim to hold up my projects, but since I do not want him to see it..........I had to put clothes pins on the curtain rods. It is 6 months till Christmas eve. I can take my time on the hand quilting. How does it look?

The whole thing.

It looks great! Jim is going to flip! Don't forget to show us your hand quilting when you're done. I love hand quilting!

Thanks everyone. I have been wanting to do a Log Cabin for almost 3 years. Feels good to get started.

I sure will show the quilting Chele. I am going to put the outlines of (what else) log cabins.

They are a lot of fun, mytwopals. But I still had to concentrate. Put a couple of strips in the wrong place and had to take them off again. :oops:

I chose blue because it is our favorite color, AND I have so many small pieces that I wanted to use up. I had a BAD habit of buying quarters all the time. No more. From now on, It's yards. I might not have so much variety, but I will have enough if I feel like starting a larger project. What color do you plan to use, or do you know yet?

Beautiful!

I forgot to ask............should I put a border on this, or leave it alone?

Log cabin is one of my favorite quilts. Yours is beautiful, and he's going to love it! Well done!
