Log cabin top is finished. Now to get it pinned and quilted!


Thanks for all the comments last week on the border question. I decided to pull a slightly darker tan for the inner border and then used the brighter firework fabric for the outer border. Not a single piece of fabric was purchased for this quilt - completely out of the scrap bins. I have a feeling this is about 86.5 square. I love how it turned out and my big pile of blue and cream scraps has gone down considerably. I may have to do one in green to tame that pile later this year! Now to get this one pinned for some quilting..... it's a good thing I have a kid free day on Saturday.

Yay for shopping from your stash! You deserve a trip to the fabric store as a reward! ;-)

Ooh I love it. I will have to add borders to my next log cabin ( I love, love, love log cabin quilts so I'm sure that there will be another one or more in my future!). An added bonus is that you didn't have to buy a single piece of fabric to make it!

It is fantastic and "free" - don't you just love using your stash?! I like your border combination - so glad your stash offered options! I can't wait to see it quilted - it is definitely a winner. ~Jeanne
