Large Log Cabin Quilt!

Image may contain: indoor

I couldn't include all the blocks in this picture but there are 42 blocks total. They measure about 16 inches square. I finished all the blocks and just wanted to see how they would look when sewn together. It can be difficult to mix blocks made by 2 different people. We all have our own personal way of sewing. I was hoping it wouldn't be too hard to sew them together.

My daughter thought it was funny to see me taking a picture of the blocks. Here I am trying to take a good picture!

I did sew 3 rows together. I think it looks good so far. It wasn't really that hard to match up the seams. The blocks are not completely uniform but it seems they're close enough to sew together without any major problems. I'm half done, 3 more rows to go! I think this will be a great quilt to stipple all over but I'm going to check with my neighbor before I start the quilting process.

I was busily sewing and not paying attention to my cats. I found Lily sleeping calmly amid a toy she had destroyed. So fresh!!

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
