Log Cabins

Have you ever made a log cabin quilt? I made this one in the early 2000's. I didn't put a label on it. I was new to quilting back then. Shame on me! I took a class to learn how to make this quilt. I hand quilted it in blue thread. It seems funny now that I took a class because the log cabin block is one of the easiest blocks to make.

This is my newest log cabin quilt. One of the monthly groups I attend, Modern Quilt Therapy, voted to make this quilt during the year. It is from the Nov/Dec 2013 Quilty magazine. Cynthia Brunz is the designer.  I used the border fabric as my focal fabric to pick out the "logs". All the fabric was from my stash. My friend Laura did the machine quilting.

Here is the quilting design. It reminds me of a rose of sorts.

Here is another version of the log cabin block. I made this for a friend a couple months ago.

The pattern came from this new magazine--Block. I decided to subscribe for at least a year. I like the stories written along with the patterns.

So this month Modern Quilt Therapy met. One of the ladies brought this log cabin quilt.

 Two more of the ladies finished their log cabin quilts. As you can see this one was done in opposite lights and darks compared to mine.

 Here is the back of the quilt.

 Another one done. Sorry I can't show the whole quilt. We meet in a small room and it is hard to get good photos.

With Passion,
