Hello and welcome.
I have been working on this off and on. Started in December 2019, and blogged about in this post. I finally took it to be long armed quilted this year. It recently came back, looking lovely with quilted swirling feathers on a wool batting that puffs up so nicely.
No borders; I bound with a red fabric I had saved for just this purpose. About 70 by 90 inches.
And a close up view:
The logs finish at 1 inch wide. I bind by sewing the binding to the back, flipping it over to the front and pressing then pinning, then top stitching down with a closely matching thread.
I like this one so much I have put it on my bed, and slept under it last night and the night before. Heavenly!

I love red and white quilts. This one is great.
Oh my gosh, Viridian -- this is GORGEOUS!!! Congratulations!! I'm so glad you shared that you went with a wool batting AND you're happy with that choice. I bought a wool batting for my California King pineapple log cabin that's waiting patiently to be quilted, but I'm a little nervous about the weight. Like your quilt, mine is made with tiny fabric strips so there are lots of seams and I was surprised by how heavy that makes the quilt top even before quilting it. I had originally thought of a Baptist Fan quilting design for my pineapple log cabin, but the feathers on your quilt complement the traditional patchwork so nicely... Did your long armer use a pantograph or digital feather design or did she/he freehand the feathers? It's a gorgeous finish!
Rebecca: It is a pantograph but looks like freehand feathers. The quilt is slightly heavier than cotton quilts but not too much.
Beautiful! It's hard to beat a well made log cabin and yours is wonderful. Sleep well!
I truly love log cabins -and this one is just so beautiful!! I bet you have heavenly dreams while sleeping under it!
I love log cabin quilts too. Yours looks amazing! Thanks for sharing it with Oh Scrap!
Love it! I have yet to make a log cabin quilt. Someday...
Love it!! You just can't go wrong with a red and cream quilt! And that little bit of yellow is perfect.
The quilt looks amazing! I particularly like the yellow centers.
