Quilty Hugs and Blessings to you...Way to go :thumbup: It truly is a labor of love and will surely be cherished for many tears to come. Bravo!!

Great log cabin, and the story of the fabrics makes it that much better! It really came out beautiful! I see more log cabins in your future.

beautiful quilt, I think I may love the label most of all!

no i didn't paper piece it. the strips are 1.5 inches and you just keep adding them on. i followed the instructions in the fons and porter quilter's complete guide.

i just got obsessed and did it. it took a LOT of hours, but i just kept going. i did the blocks in 4 groups, using the scrap bits from that pile to fill in blanks in the new blocks to make sure there was a random element in each block. the one thing i could have spent more time on was the final layout. there are a couple of places where two fabrics butt up against each other and i kind of wanted to avoid that. i could have tooled and fooled with it, but i really wanted to sleep under it.

the aside is that i made it to match my new bedroom in the house we moved into in september. i've never finished a quilt in such a short amount of time, but i seriously went at it.

(i need a job....really.)

thank you so much. so nice to have a place to share it :)

It's a beautiful quilt! I, too, loved log cabins before I ever started quilting. It's such a versatile block, and your colors are fantastic!

absolutely gorgeous, a lifetime of memories

I love this and the way you did the backing is so unique! Great job!!

What a wonderful and beautiful quilt!
