What does "Quilt for a Painting" mean???

I was just thinking the same (what the title meant). The block looks good though! :thumbup:

It's a quilt pic that I posted earlier, and several members had asked me how to make the quilt.

Is having so much stark white a part of the overall pattern when several are sewn together?

It's actually not stark white- If you look at the original pics of the quilt, you'll see I used off whites, and pale golds and pale greens. In the tute, my camera flash made those fabrics look very white.

Can you post a picture of your origional quilt. I like the look. Gail

What a beauty! I love the border, too. All of it. And, thanks for the tute. Maybe one on the border??

I have posted one on the border- it's called brick walk

Thank you. I will take a look. I would love to try this someday.

Thankyou. Your log cabin blocks are beautiful. I love that border too!

really pretty! what is finished size of quilt?
also--did you do each block identical?

bet i mess up the layout if i try to duplicate yours LOL

thanks for showing this

Thank you so much for posting this Tute! I have been waiting patiently for instructions for this!! The quilt is stunning!!! :D

The quilt is about 65" square. Do you mean are the fabrics identical in each block? no, I used alot of different fabrics. If you mean did I make each one the same way? yes, I did.

thanks ;) i meant fabrics identical.

thank you

Can I make a suggestion? When making a log cabin, don't cut your strips before you sew them on. Sew them on and then cut. Saves lots of time. The only ones I cut before are the center pieces.

Yes, you can do it that way, but you must use your rotary cutter and ruler to get very straight cuts or your block can end up wonky.

Thanks so much for the tut when you posted a pic of your quilt I looked and wanted to do one, but thought oh that is way to hard for me. I have only made a couple rag quilts and a couple strip quilts But now I feel like I can make this quilt if I can manage to cut straight lol

It looks harder than it is! And if you don't think you can do the brick walk border, you could just do a fabric strip border. Keep us posted!

Thanks! You did a great job!

WOW - thank you for the tutorial - gorgeous quilt

Yes, I use my ruler and rotary cutter to cut the strips after they have been sewn. I've made 4 log cabins quilts and find them very easy to make and very striling.

Absolutely beautiful.

Do you square up after every row?

I just love Log Cabins! And this one is at the top of the list! Bookmarked!

No, after I finish all the blocks, then square them all up before I sew them together.

WOW Thank You, I just love love Log Cabins. Yours is very beautiful

Very pretty, thank you for the tutorial. I love the colors that you used.

Thanks for this great tutorial. I'm bookmarking it! Your quilt is beautiful.

very beautiful and thank you for the tutorial

Very pretty I love your border.
