Log Cabin Quilt
 

This is a quilt top I've just completed for the son of a very good friend of mine -- he served in the US Army in Afghanistan and sustained permanent injuries there. I thought this was the least I could do. I'll eventually get the quilt finished, but here's the top. It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it! Jeanette

really like that--love the colors and the fabric choices.

Very nice! I love your colors and I'm sure your friend's son will love it.

Gorgeous quilt! Blues and oranges look great together.

Good for you!! I would not have thought I'd like that particular color combo as much as I do.

looks great

Great job and I also like the colors!

Actually, the colors are blues and browns -- the one that appears orange is a "rust" in the brown family! I guess my camera doesn't depict the colors accurately. There are three blues, light, royal blue and navy, and three browns, tan, chocolate and rust. The center block is ORANGE - a KeepSake Calico. Red just wouldn't work, but I think the orange in the calico is just right!

Your thoughtful gift will bring him comfort, it's a beautiful quilt!

How wonderful of you to make such an inspiring quilt.

Please thank him for his service. Super quilt. BrendaK

Orange works great with the desert colors... and our minds see red white and blue as well...funny how that works...

love your fabrics :)

Great job and great colors. Sorry to hear of his injuries. God bless him.

That is a beautiful quilt and sure to give comfort.

Nice looking quilt. I like the colors together.

It is a lovely quilt you made and it is so nice of you to make this quilt for him. Please tell him that we are all thankful and proud of his service to our country and we wish him well!

great quilt!!!

Great quilt that is sure to lift his spirits and welcome him home!

This will be a great gift for him.

Thank you all for your compliments. They are appreciated. This is my very first pieced quilt top. I've made other quilts, but not pieced tops. Jeanette

You should be very proud! What a generous gift!

And you should be proud - nice!

I think you did a great job on it. I like your color combinations.

very pretty...complete is always better than perfect...

It's very pretty, I'm sure he'll love it.

I would love to try a log cabin and I sure love yours. Could you possibly share the pattern...here or email me [email protected]

Very nice. He will love it.

Nice quilt.

Looks perfect what ever color you call it. The colors play nicely together and it is very beautiful --manly looking. Thanks for thinking of him and his service to our country.

Very nice and thank him for his service.

Great looking log cabin.

Great color..Good job.

Log cabin is one of my favorite patterns and you have done an excellent job on this one. The colors remind me of the patriotism these soldiers show for our country by protecting it, and the browns remind me of the dessert they are in. He will love and cherish this I'm sure.

It's gorgeous! I'm sure he will love it, I appreciate his service. Such a touching way to bless him on your part!

Thank all of you for your comments. I appreciate your extending thanks to this young man -- his mom is a very good friend of mine. Her son is one of those who served his country and put his life on the line for our country, and he has my thanks as well. Sewing is something I love to do. I am grateful for the opportunity to do a little something for one of our soldiers, and especially for the son of a very good friend!

A beautiful quilt for a very deserving man. May your quilt give him much comfort. And be sure to tell him that there are hundreds of quilters on this board thinking and praying for him.
