Very nice. Looks very homely. No wonder you nearly lost it to your son. He has good taste at least. Who wouldn't like it? The pale border helps make the variety of colours stand out more. A good choice with the blue.

I LOVE IT. It is so bright and cheery. I don't blame you for keeping it for him.ha.

Re: your comment about your 18-yr-old GS coming to his senses. I worked very hard on a "controlled scrappy" quilt (Jacob's Ladder) for our 18yo GS for his HS graduation. He watched the process (because I knew it would not be done in time for graduation and I wanted him to see that he was actually getting a nice gift) and became very excited each time he saw the progress. Six months later when I handed him that quilt, he embraced it, thanked me "a million times" and then announced that he was taking it up to his room for a nap.:D Your log cabin quilt is gorgeous!!

My DGS really loved this quilt and I almost gave it to him until I remembered what 18 year old boys are like and came to my senses. If he shows some good sense in the next few years, then he can have it, I'm taking good care of it for him. It's quilted by my long armer Marie who does a nice panto on whatever I give her. She's 85 and still going strong. She's my hero !

OH!! that is just beautiful. LC's are my favorite I think. I have made four and given all away. I mad a off center one for DH for Christmas of 2012. Again, beautiful quilt, you and DH did great on the layout. Sure hope DGS gets his act together and is able to earn this piece of art, until then enjoy it.

Such an interesting layout. One of the best scrappies I have seen. I love log cabin also

Jackie Spencer 05-26-2013 04:01 AM

Love your quilt!! Log Cabin is one of my favorites too! So versatile!!

hudgoddess 05-26-2013 05:39 AM

I'm so glad you're taking care of it for him. It would be a shame if he "18 year old-ed" all over it. Really great job!

Lovely scrappy log cabin. A real keeper.

BuzzinBumble 05-26-2013 05:54 AM

Yay for you and your hubby and Yay for Marie because that is a terrific quilt!

LindaMRB 05-26-2013 06:07 AM

Well your grandson at least has good taste - it's remarkable he wanted this particular pattern and color scheme. I suspect he would take care of it no matter when, with a little education about what that means. (I have a 13-year-old who likes to sit on her quilt and draw with charcoal, ballpoint pens etc. Yikes. We had to put a stop to that practice!)
I love your quilt...

Yooper32 05-26-2013 06:17 AM

What a great and sparkling Log Cabin you have made. I just might have to make another one after seeing yours.

purplefiend 05-26-2013 06:26 AM

wannabee quiltin,
Your log cabin quilt is beautiful! I just finished a twin size log cabin. You can see it here near the bottom of the page.

Beautiful! Probably not a bad decision regarding 18yo boys. It's amazing what a couple years can do!!

Love Log Cabins and this one is gorgeous. No wonder your GS wants it. I do too, but I doubt you'll give it to me!

mimiof4 05-26-2013 04:52 PM

I really love scrap quilts and log cabins are one of my favorites nice job. So glad you came to your senses before you gave it to DGS. As long as you are keeping it for him for the future. He will love it.
