By now you know that I

By now you know that I.....
love scrap quilts and I love Log Cabins. You cant go wrong
with

these types of quilts. Anything goes and
somehow it all works

out in the end. This log cabin does not have

the traditional red center block but I happen to like

blue with brown. As you can see
it didnt take many scraps at all. 
And the quilt is lovely!
All of the white and

cream rectangles that make up the

large blocks is just a 100% cotton sheet that I cut up.
However this was the softest

sheet ever! Dont remember where I got that sheet
back then but I wish

that I had a couple more of them.
This quilt was not made in the traditional way.
 After

all of the blocks were created they were handsewn together.
I can date
this quilt back to 1991 when "A Quilt in a Day"
publication came out.
I still have that book. I cut each backing square big.
I laid
the batting on top and I then began sewing
the strips on top
by flipping over each strip just as the book suggested to do.
However I cant show

you the back because it is not all that pretty.
Best to keep that side hid!
This was the only

quilt that I ever made like that.
At that time, I didnt like it,
but I just might make another one and this time
make sure
that I sew the seams down in a much nicer way.
I will keep my patience
and take my time to sew it down properly.

I hope you have enjoyed my quilt. Thank you for

visiting me!
