Neutral Log Cabin - simply elegant
 
2 Attachment(s)
The log cabin block is one of my favorites and the fabrics Doris chose for her log cabin quilt made it so very elegant. Notice the touch of lace randomly placed around in the quilt. I'm going to nickname Doris' quilt "Girls best Friend" referring to the quilted diamonds. When Doris brought it to me, I mentioned that there would be a lot of stopping and starting in the quilting, but once I began stitching I was able to hide the stitches connecting the diamonds in the ditch. The book "Quilting Makes the Quilt" inspired me to quilt the diamonds.

FABULOUS Bobbi! I have never seen a LC quilted this way and it really gives it a dynamic and different look. At first glance I thought it was one of those spiral LC blocks. I really love it and the little pumpkin seed quilting in the middle of each quilted star is a great touch. Think I will have to look into getting that book as this quilt is inspirational! The soft neutral colors that she chose for the quilt, combined with your out of the box quilting turn the humble log cabin into an elegant masterpiece.

That is so cool! I also thought the blocks were not the traditional because of the quilting. Looks awesome!

I love this! It's already an awesome quilt but the quilting makes it even better.

I will definitely try something like this if/when I do a log cabin quilt. Just perfect

You're right; simply elegant and quilting can enhance or detract and yours certainly enhances!

This is what my mind says but I can't relate it myself. I feel the same way, it is a beautiful quilt and elegantly quilted.

Annz 01-25-2014 12:10 PM

The fabric colors are earthy and warm looking but the quilting is outstanding. Great Job!!!

cwessel47 01-25-2014 12:13 PM

It looks so wonky with your quilting! That is a good thing..lol. I love this out of the box approach. Just wonderful!

awesome design and quilt

dunster 01-25-2014 04:22 PM

I love that quilt! Your quilting adds to the design. Is there a name for that type of log cabin?

Tweety2911 01-25-2014 04:58 PM

Your quilting has taken this gorgeous quilt to a great level! Super job!!

sewingsuz 01-25-2014 05:02 PM

This quilt is stunning. It should win a price. I have never seen a more beautiful log cabin.

redquilter 01-25-2014 05:06 PM

Yes, the colors make for an elegant quilt but your quilting makes for a spectacular quilt.

yobrosew 01-25-2014 05:22 PM

Must find a quilt show to enter it in!

csharp 01-25-2014 05:33 PM

Oh my goodness,...that is certainly "out of the box" as stated earlier..Wonderful job for both of you.

Jackie Spencer 01-25-2014 06:43 PM

Wow! I never would have thought to quilt a log cabin like that. The quilting gives it a totally different look. That is awesome!!

Grandma Peg 01-25-2014 06:44 PM

Beautiful quilt and quilting. You are a professional!!!

lfstamper 01-25-2014 06:51 PM

Stunning quilting gives this LC a whole new look. Amazing!

loisf 01-25-2014 07:19 PM

That is spectacular! At first I couldn't believe it was a traditional log cabin. I had to look very closely to confirm. What a wonderful quilt. Congrats to both of you.
