making a quilt for me
1 Attachment(s)
I have not had a quilt since we sold our house and all its contents, but now that I am settled, I wanted to make a quilt for me. The small-piece Log Cabin is one we have made dozens of times, the pieces start out 1" wide. All colors are used. I had a bunch of 4 x 4 small tops already put together, so I sewed 16 of them together. Here it is laid out on the floor, have to sew the seams the other way, maybe on my next day off.
Hope I will get it quilted before the cold weather comes! First I have to finish an afghan I am making, then finish quilting a WIP I picked up at a yard sale. |
It's pretty - I like the setting you are using.
|
Looks great and love the layout!
|
Good for you for making a quilt for yourself! It's gorgeous and I'm sure you'll have lots of snuggly night under it.
|
Wow! That is a lot of work. You did a great job.
|

|
That's going to be beautiful!
|

|
very pretty--love the tiny logs on the log cabins! And definitely my colors :)
|
WOW...what a project!
|
It will be stunning.
|
I can't wait to see it finished! It's lovely already.
|
Even though you used "all colors", it gives a wonderfully muted impression that I really like.
|
Can't wait to see it quilted. Good looking quilt.
|
A lot of work, but so very pretty! I like the mix of colors.
|
What a wonderful setting for your cabins. A very nice "for me" quilt.
|
Nice log cabin quilt.
|
Beautiful quilt and you've inspired me. We sold our home and everything in it as well. We're still sifting through the things we've kept, trying to find a place for them. I am going through tons of fabric and quilting things to see what will go to my guild and what I will keep. I'm not overwhelmed, but I can't seem to get my sewing mojo back. Your pic helps a lot!
|
Wow great log cabin, I had enough trouble making a 12 1/2 inch block there would be no way I could make one that size.
|
Very pretty, however, I don't think I could use 1" strips. I've done a couple table runners using 1 1/2" strips and that is as far as I'll go. Congratulations to you though on accomplishing this magnificent endeavor.
|
Nice and scrappy!
|
Great quilt! You did a wonderful job with the fabric and layout.
|
Very nicely done and I am glad you are going to keep it for you!
|
Good for you for treating yourself to a quilt! It's awesome!
|
Wow, that's quite a job!
|
Very pretty pattern and beautiful.
|
It's lovely Barb, I don't normally like scrappy but your strings have a pleasant blending.
|
It is just lovely - good luck with getting the time to complete it.
|
Finally finished it!! and slept under it last night. Now it looks and feels like home. Before I just had blankets on the bed. Will try to put a picture up later.

not a very good picture but you get the idea. It is just the right weight with one blanket under, and stays put better than the 2 blankets I had.
|
Very pretty quilt!
|
Oh how lovely! Log Cabins are the best!!!
