Log cabin Finished!

I had to wait for the kids to get home so they could hold the quilt for the photo shoot!This quilt reminds me of the mountains in Vermont in the spring with all the colors of greens opening up after a dark winter.

 I couldn't decide which photo showed the quilt better..... so you got both. I pulled the blocks with lots of brights out as it was not working and made more with the darker fabrics with just a touch of bright thrown in here and there. Surprisingly... I still have tons of green scraps! I do like how this one turned out. A power session of hand stitching binding one day through 2 movies got a little over half of it done for the finish.


This finished at 94x94 with minimal straight line quilting. I used a warm and natural batting and the backing is a nice soft cream with a pretty vine on it. Hopefully it will raise some money for the Lake Elmore Lake Association's funding to help with the milfoil in the lake.

It just needs a wash and dry, label writing and then mailing it off to them.

That is so pretty! I really love all the greens - especially the blocks where the bright pieces pop out! I think that quilt will make lots of money for the lake fundraiser.
