Another year of Modern Quilt Therapy has started at The Little General. We did a mug rug exchange in the group. Here is the mug rug I made. I cut out the tea pot from some fabric I had won last year and adhered it to the hot pink fabric. Then I machine quilted it with black thread.
Here is the mug rug I received. Love those fabrics which I have some in my stash.
So this year our facilitator,
Karen Gray, choice this log cabin quilt for us to work on through the year. We are to make three blocks a month.
The pattern is in this issue of
Quilty magazine.
I bought this yardage several years ago. It is called Sophie by Chez Moi. The pink is not such a hot pink color but I couldn't get the light right. I bought this fabric because it looks vintage to me.
So this was my starting point to picking out the "logs" for my quilt. I don't know if I will actually use this fabric in the quilt. I might add a border but I am not sure but it helped me to figure out what colors I want to use for my quilt. Now to start cutting.
During "therapy" there were door prizes given out and I won this bundle of fabrics given away by
Lisa.
I just got the newest Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine in the mail yesterday.
Missie, whose blog I love and read, has a pattern in the magazine. Congratulations Missie! Go by her blog to see her quilt and enter her giveaway!
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Oh I love the color palette for your log cabin project and I agree that the floral has a vintage vibe. Being a tea lover I think your mug mat is super sweet.

ReplyDeleteI like that unusual Log Cabin design, this will make such a pretty quilt project with the fabrics you've chosen for it.
You won some very pretty fabrics. I love the mug rug (& pretty tea cup, too)! Your log cabin quilt is going to be gorgeous in those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog love Carrie! How exciting you got a new machine and have had time to actually USE it! I got mine before ?Christmas and have only used it once! It has been overwhelming to catch up with technology as my last machine was 24 years old! One of these days soon I hope to get at it! Love your pretty colors and the log cabin variation is darling...fun fun!
