This finish deserves a fanfare of trumpets!
The log cabin flimsy is finally done! After a year’s journey I have reached the first finish line!
My last step was to fix the fraying yellow strips so the seams wouldn’t come apart. After all this is a marriage quilt and, besides, after all this work—who wants it to fall apart?
I didn’t take a picture of the top because, well, it is just too darn big! It is a king-size. Due to the 14” blocks and no border, I was stuck with just one size choice. 112 x 112. That just about cover a king size top with some generous over-hang, doncha’ think?
For those of you who haven’t seen this quilt a gazillion times in the past year, here is the best picture taken when it practically filled up my garage wall.
Also on the “design wall” is my latest finish of blocks for the RSC 2014. I’ve been making snowball blocks in each month's colors. April’s color was purple and, true to form, I finished them this month!
I’m trying to get lots of novelty fabrics in my blocks. Didn’t have many in my purples. I did get my plaid purple in though. I’m trying to get a plaid block in each color because, well, I’m crazy, loony about plaid!!! And always one vintage, which looks like I scanned the same block twice!
The lavender in the upper right corner is one of my favorite colors. True to form it looks blue next to the purples. If I put it with blue blocks, it would look purple! And of course a gratuitous picture of my children. This was taken on our recent trip to the ocean. Noel Heart and Sweetie are running through the waves here. They were trying to the Baywatch slow-motion run!
I want to encourage everyone to go and see the website, Life Sew Crafty. She is hosting a blog hop to educate people about breast cancer. Every two weeks there are 2-3 guests and each one displays a pink block that they have made. I am going to be hosting on June 7!! I'm very excited, it's my first hosting! Fun for days! To learn more, read my previous post giving more information, plus pictures of Nancy Drew and family's recent visit. If that isn't a draw, I don't know what is!
I’m hooking up with the following blogs. Hop on by to check out lots of lovely quilts! Their badges are in the right sidebar.

Well done on reaching a milestone with your log cabin quilt. I like how you shaded the colours darker as you moved away from the centre of each block, like the shadowy corners far from the firelight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple blocks too.
Wow, thanks for your compliments! I am definitely doing the Happy Dance here!
DeleteYour purple RSC blocks look good. I'm with you on month/color too. I just finished my purple ones too. Maybe by next month we will get caught up.!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good goal! We can give each other high fives at the end of June!
DeleteYour log cabin top has turned out lovely. I can't wait to see what the RSC blocks become.
ReplyDeleteLove your log cabin. I haven't made one of those yet, it's on my list! :)
