Hello and welcome!
In this busy holiday season, I am finding time to work on my current project, a log cabin quilt.
I finished the blocks in 2017 and didn't want to trim them up at that time.
Well, early this month I pulled them out and trimmed them square (though not all to the same size). I was as careful as I could be in sewing them, but I found I did have some variation in size!
Well, after trimming, I might as well set them on the floor and audition a zig zag design.
And since they are laid out, I might as well sew them together, right?
And find that border fabric I set aside for this project.
And then cut and add the border.
And layer it up, and pin baste.
And start quilting it on my own machine.
I am still in the midst of quilting this sandwich, but I am over half done! Some problems with tension but I am doing OK. It's about 80 by 75 inches, so a bit of a struggle to shove through the harp of my trusty old Kenmore.
All reproduction fabric in this one, some of my favorites:
(Pictures taken when it was just a top.)
