sure a beautiful quilt and picture

nice trade!

Beautiful Quilt........ and Beautiful Painting...... BOTH are lovely works of ART !!! :thumbup:

The painting is wonderful....but I think I like the quilt just as much! LOL - couldn't you have just had both?

they are both very nice

Both are beautiful, lovely colors to snuggle up with.

Good swop!

Looks like a big old win-win for everyone.

Very good Trade Love the Quilt !!!

I simply love this quilt, especially the border. Did you use a purchased pattern with instructions for the border. I would love to make one if I could find the border pattern. Thanks so much! And yes, it was a great trade...the picture is beautiful as well.

Me personally would rather have that gorgeous quilt hanging on the wall. I have some art work? LOL

I've gotten so many questions about the border I'll be posting a tutorial on it in the next few days. It's called "brick walk" and it came from an old Georgia Bonesteel book that I've had for years. Watch for the tute.

Excellent bartering.

Beautiful, I can't imagine living in such a beautiful home.Bet your sewing room is amazing.

Oh Yes! They are both beautiful!

Thanks so much! I'll be looking forward to the tutorial.

great trade both winers!

sorry..my keyboard sticking,..I meant WINNERS!!!!

A good trade for both parties involved! You have a beautiful living room. Someday mine won't be covered in toys.....

That is a very good trade love them both.

lovely painting; gorgeous quilt. I think it was pretty "even Stevens."

Hold that thought, but I don't mean to pop your bubble. The toys do go for a while, and then the grandchildren come in with their toys. We're on the great grandchildren now. But we love it.

The quilt is beautiful. love the way you did the border.

I think it was a great trade

You did well in that trade.

This is stunning! I love it!! Does the patten come for the middle section or just the border???? :D

They are both awesome. both came out beautiful winners. :)

I have been asked by another QB member to give her directions for how to do the quilt, so I will be posting a tutorial on the log cabin. I have already posted one for the border under Brickwalk. Thanks-glad you like it.

the quilt is WONDERFUL and can be used.

The picture is beautiful but they got the best deal.
Your quilt is AWESOME!!! Thanks for the tut on the border,too

Both are wonderful!

I've already started piecing a Brick Walk border and it occured to me as to how I will put the border on. I noticed on the photo of your quilt that the border appears to wrap around the corner very nicely. When adding the border, do you sew the sides on first or the top and bottom first. How did you make it all come out so well? Thanks so much for your help.

Very beautiful quilt! Great trade!

I'm embarrassed to say I just got lucky! When I started the log cabin I had a different border in mind, and then I thought of brick walk which I hadn't used in a while, and thought it would look good. So the fact that the measurements came out right was just dumb luck. I don't remember which I sewed on first, although I did use a 2" border around the outside of the log cabin, and around the outside edge of the brick walk, mainly just to make the quilt a little bigger, but it ended up framing the brick walk nicely.
However, the book that I got the pattern from-"More Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel" shows the pattern as a 12"block, with 2 strips of brick walk with a strip of fabric in between them, and the bottoms and tops of the brick walk strips are cut off- incomplete strips, in other words.

Thank you so much for the information. I have one other question. How wide are the strips in the log cabin and what size did you use for the center square? If I can use the same size blocks as you did, possibly I could luck out with the border coming out pretty even. Sorry to be such a pest abo

I agree. Both are beautiful!

Sorry for posting my message twice before finishing. It appears as though you made the blocks 6 wide and 6 down. Is this correct? I'm sure you've had moments when you wish you hadn't shown the quilt as I've had so many questions. I truly appreciate your help! I've looked for the Bonsteel book with no success. Thanks again!

The strips are 1 1/2" wide, and the center squares are 2 1/2". Also, remember to cut the border "framing" strips 2 1/2".
"More Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel" is on Amazon for 6.99.
It's no trouble at all! I made this quilt from my stash, and just sort of made it up as I went along, so I had no idea so many people would want to make it too!
And, yes, 6 squares wide and 6 down.
I'm happy to answer any questions.

Also, I think I had to cut triangles to fit the outside corners of the borders.
