:thumbup: Having only been primarily a baby quilt producer, I got spunky and bought this kit at Houston last year. My daughter was married back in Sept of '11 and loves log cabins. So I am working on this for her and DSIL wedding quilt. Oh my! all the little pieces and organization is truly needed. Discovered many things so far.....my 1/4 is all dependent on the music I am listening to, don't cut your strips while sitting down, they have a tendency to be about 1/4 over which relates to the former problem ( blame it on the music)...and starch is my best friend. Ready to start putting it together....will post again before it goes to the LAQ. Thanks for looking.

So funny and true! The piecing of the quilt is my favorite phase. It looks stunning.

I am another person who has not seen a log cabin with stars. Gorgeous :)
Also...when u first posted this and said "..daughter and SIL".. for the life of me I couldn't figure out "SIL". Only thing popped in my brain was Sister-in-law? Glad another poster said Son-in-law. I think I need to go to bed :)

hcarpanini 09-27-2012 06:38 PM

Beautiful! Love the stars, you don't see them that often in a log cabin.

blahel 09-27-2012 08:02 PM

love the fabrics and the stars just make it sing!

sewmorethings 09-28-2012 03:49 AM

Love it, great job, she will love it too

janceejan 09-28-2012 04:04 AM

The kit was prebuilt and at one of the many booths at Houston. They called it Stripes and Bright Stars. Designed by Maria Umhey. As seen in McCall's Quick Quilts June-July 2010, pg 40-42. Got a good day to finish piecing, lots of rain. Then package her up for the trip to my favorite LAQ for her special "Charisma" magic......can't wait :D

catladyquilts 09-28-2012 04:24 AM

that is gorgeous, great job. Can't wait to see it finished

Caroline S 09-28-2012 07:19 AM
