Log Cabin Update

Thought you might like to see how the reproduction log cabins are coming along. Well, I finished another cushion . First finish for February.



This one has blue strips covering the joins.


As for the quilt, the blocks have been sewn together and the front covering strips added.


As you can see, I now need to add the covering strips to the back.



Surprise, surprise, old Mr Sticky Beak aka Oliver Henry the Quilt Inspector had to come and check out the quilt. First one side ...


then the other! Hope it passed the inspection!

Then, "Oh, look here's my friend Molly ... think I'll just grab her head to let her know I'm here!" Poor Molly!


Though she didn't seem too perturbed and agreed to do a few poses herself.



"Do you like my profile?"

"Aren't I a pretty girl?"

Being a model is so exhausting. Time for a rest.

  7. Love your log cabin quilt! Great colours! I don't understand the strips. Is this a quilt-as-you-go quilt? I am curious as to how you put this together.

  28. Fab, I love log cabin blocks, they are my favourite, and I really love the colours on yours.

  29. I so love your log cabins! Wonderful color choices, it just screams for you to curl up under it!! I like the pieced backing too. I have a log cabin top finished and mistakingly did not buy enough fabric for the backing, your back could solve my dilema and still give me enough for the binding. Thanks, I may actually get it quilted now! (it's almost been a year!)
