Batik Log Cabin

 log2

This is Sandra’s Batik Log Cabin quilt and the only request she had was there be feathers in the light fabrics. I was happy to oblige!   I added straight lines in the green half of the blocks to highlight the diamond shape layout of the quilt.   I didn’t realize just how many stop and starts doing the diagonal lines would take but it was worth the effort as I love the combination of feathers and lines.

  I used Quilter’s Dream Cotton Deluxe batting and So Fine thread.

This was my last client quilt for November so I’ve finished my all my quilting commitments for the year early!   I hope you don’t think I’m bragging… oh who am I kidding of coarse I’m bragging. “Woo Hoo I’m done for the year!!!!”   :)     I’m really happy to have the next month to work on my own projects.  I already have some snow dyeing on the go and in the process of melting,  made 5 sets of microwaveable fabric bowls this week and I even had my serger out today to work on more xmas gifts.  Now what other trouble can I get into……

    Wow, a beautiful quilt! What colour thread did you use? Do you match it to the light and dark fabrics? Snow dyeing sounds like fun, wish we had snow and not this rain.

    Hey Kath, what a pretty combination of feathers and straight lines, and the beadboard border looks great! Have fun and stitch lots on all your favourite projects for the next month. :-)

    Hi Kathy, really enjoy reading your blogs and looking at all the quilts. Where did the pattern for the Christmas quilt come from. I love it. Roberta Ross, Ponoka AB.

    Roberta, I've sent an email to Raye asking her the name of the pattern. I'll post it when I find out.
