Staying on my mission to use my fabric stash and try not to purchase any more fabrics, I've completed a queen-sized long cabin quilt. It didn't cost me a penny out of my pocket more. I even had the 108" backing fabric. Blue is my favorite color and of course I had plenty of blue fabric stash. No worries, I still gave plenty of blue fabric stash. This quilt hardly dented my stash.
This is the second log cabin quilt I've made. Although not as scrappy as my first one, it is scrappy with a set color scheme of blue and white. My 10" blocks are made of one inch finished strips.The outer border of each long cabin block is finished with navy blue fabric and I carried that color to the outside border with half-square triangle blocks which makes a saw tooth pattern. I think it adds a great accent.
I quilt by hand drawing edge to edge on my longarm quilter. This quilt I drew a paisley/swirl quilting design.
The snow is finally gone - at least as of today. So I was able to go outside to snap this picture. Hooray!
I think this is my favorite quilt. But wait, I think I say that after I finish each quilt. What do you think?
