I did straight line quilting on this quarter log cabin quilt. I took it off the frame and trimmed the edges, chose a binding and cut the strips.
My thread was Superior So Fine in a medium value beige/tan. The only place it shows much is on the black fabric.
I started the hand sewing on the binding of the pineapple log cabin small quilt.
The weather has turned pleasant once again and the whole week looks great. Once I get my end of the month quilts finished I will need to get outside and pull weeds in the back garden.
Today is my pacemaker's 4th birthday and my second great-grandson's 5th birthday.
Looks like you will have a finish for the month! Yeah! I guess you could have used almost any fabric for the binding on the quarter log cabin quilt. It is so pretty and colorful! I sure hope the weather turns decent here. The humidity and temps are still high. I need to so some serious weeding myself.

I love everything about your log cabin quilt- the colors, the setting and the straight-line quilting!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that quarter log cabin! Thanks for mentioning what color thread you used to quilt it. I have a string quilt with black and colorful strings and was not really sure what color to use to quilt it. Now I know what will look good!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it is cooler here now too. Last week's heat wave really wore me down and I still have lots of gardening to do.
Lovely straight line quilting work on this log cabin quilt. I have never done a 1/4-cabin..love how it looks hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWanda, this quilt is awesome! All the color are great, and I love that you used the straight line quilting…. Another winner, for sure!

ReplyDeleteWow, I really like the log cabin quilt that you showed you had just finished!! Amazing! I went back to see when you had finished the top. I was trying to see if you had a pattern or had just done a quarter log cabin with very small strips of different sizes. Looks like it would be fun! Congratulations on finishing after 8 years! I know the feeling for sure!
ReplyDeleteAs always, another beauty!! LOVE the colorful strips paired with the black dot!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another finish. I like the black dot in the centers and the strips are fun too.

Is there a pattern for the Square in a Square? We are in the process of moving. At this time waiting on paper work. So planning quilts and ideas. Then flooring and layout for studio stuffs. Did not realize I had so much fabric till I started boxing. I did cheat a bit on the labeling. But trying to keep calm with creative ideas. Thanks. Vivian.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt. Congratulations on the 4 years of pacemaker, I have had mine for 10 days still trying to adjust to all this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Straight lines look great, too. Your quilts always inspire me!
