Log Cabin | Suzanne Earley

Having told you what I PLANNED to do, I figured I ought to come back and show you the fruits of my labor.

The frogging didn’t take long, and a goodly amount of quilting happened on the quilt that had the pleats in the back:

As far as the 4 patch posy quilts goes: the outer borders are on, and as a bonus, the backing is sewn together:

No idea how I’m going to quilt it. I’ll let you know later this week….

And those log cabins with the ridiculous sashing:

I misspoke (mistyped?) yesterday. I said the tiny pieces in the sashing finished at 1 in. by 3/4in. I was wrong. It’s crazier than that: they finish at 1/2 in. by 3/4 in.

And they are done:

I was contemplating that print as a border option, but I think I’m going to go with a dark purple border, as a resting place before the insanity that will be the outer piano key border.

And no, the quilt is not all that flat, thankyouverymuch. It’s OK, though. I know the quilter. She says she can quilt it out.

The boys are off to a basketball tournament, Mom went to Minnesota to visit her Aunt, Katie is home alone and I’m here at the shop. Unfortunately, there is an auction in town, which means no parking downtown, and likely few customers.

So, what am I going to do today?

Couple of projects:

It does actually lay flat, I just threw it on the floor for a quick picture. And I only hvae the 50mm lens, so it was hard to get a DECENT picture. I added the border last night, that turn the setting triangles into a zigzag. Now I have to figure out how I want to finish it.

I’ll also probably plpay with these blocks for a bit. I have 36 of the log cabin blocks, the crazy part is the sashing. Those sashing pieces will finish at 1in by 3/4in. I know. I’m nuts. But look how cute it’s going to be!
