Remember that scrappy floral watercolor log cabin? It's done.

Your quilt is beauuuuuutiiful!!
WOULD YOU TELL ME HOW YOU DID YOUR BLOCKS? I want to make another Log Cabin Quilt, but it is tricky printing them on the computer.
The other time I got a whole sheet of pre-printed l.cabin blocks. Did you have pre-printed, or how did you do it?
I prefer using the muslin foundation over paper piecing. PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU DID YOURS. AND IF YOU BOUGHT PRE-PRINTED, TELL ME WHERE!!
Thanks. My email is:

For those asking about the pattern--it's a basic log cabin with 1" lights and 1.5" darks...just follow one of the squares in the photo to know the order to start.

Oh--the very first light needs to be 1.5"--sew that to a 1.5" dark--then add the next dark...then two more lights..then two darks... and continue until done. There are 17 pieces in each square. I use the strip method..it's way easier than cutting all the pieces.

Below is a close up of one square--hope that helps. I don't know what else to say for directions.

If you put two plain borders on it, one narrow and one wider, it would make the main part of the quilt pop...

Your waterfall log cabin quilt is just beautiful. And I do love the back, too, and see what you mean by looking like stained glass!!

I have the first border picked out--one of the lights used in the quilt--I'll get a photo of it tomorrow. Tomorrow I visit that HUGE 8000 bolt quilt shop--so maybe I'll have another border to photograph.... :D

Thanks for your kind words. :D
