Log Cabin
 

While you don't really need a pattern to make a log cabin quilt I did use one for this. It was a free pattern from American Patchwork and Quilting called "Contrasting Cabins". It's big; 72" by 96". For that reason I did have it quilted by a longarm. Way to big for me to try on my DSM. The quilt motif is feathers which I think look really good. Did have to buy a little bit of the lighter fabrics (did not have quite enough variety), but the darks and most of the lights all came out of my stash. Again, trying to focus on using fabric that I have. I gifted this to a friend who did me a big favor as a thank you. It will go in her vacation house on the coast. Perfect colors for the ocean. Thanks for looking.

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm always partial to log cabins, and yours is beautiful.

Beautiful blues, and I love the touch of yellow. I love log cabins, too. Very pretty quilt.

Ooo Ooo... That is pretty

The blues and yellow - so pretty.

Lovely log cabin

Oh so pretty! Love your fabric colors

Another stunner! I love it.

Echoing all the oooohs and aaaaws! The quilt is stunning!

That will look nice in a beach house - or any other house too!

My favorite colors in a gorgeous log cabin......what a lucky friend!

classic and beautiful!

Love your quilt! Haven't made one, yet, but on my list.

Beautiful log cabin! Yellow for the sun and blues for the water and sky.

Beautiful control of colors for this amazing quilt

That's gorgeous! You did a wonderful job. LC's are a favorite of mine. I never get tired of them.

So pretty!

Beautiful quilt! As an OCD "color coordinator" I am in love with this!

You can't go wrong with wrong log cabin quilt patterns. There's so many out there to make. I finally made my 1st logcabin quilt back in 2010 when I was waiting for my house to sell down in Florida. I'd put all my sewing room into storage so had to go out and buy another sewing machine, makeshift cutting table from JoAnne's, fabric, etc. Once I moved up here to Iowa and my mother saw the quilt as a flimsy, she wanted it instead of the quilt I made for her but I told her she'd have to wait until I got a larger quilt machine as all I had was an 18" stretched Juki on a 10ft Grace Pro frame. Went to my 1st quilt show in Des Moines and tried out all sorts of quilt machines and decided when the time came, I'd get a 24" Innova on a 12 ft frame. Brought home the prochures, told my mother about it as she was living with me at the time and 2 weeks later she gave me a check to buy the Innova plus enough to upgrade my robotics which at the time was an updated PCQ/MQR. Now I use IQ robotics as the MQR folks took off to Canada never to be seen or heard from again with our money to update the robotics.

I've made a couple more variations of logcabin quilts and love everyone one them.
