This cabin sits just west of Sterling, Nebraska. Lap siding covers much of the old cabin, but as the siding has fallen off, the logs and chinking are revealed.
AB Love, DS FMF and DS Quilts, solids, some Japanese dots, Lizzy House, and AMH to bind it---all of my fabric loves in one quilt.
the center of the block was a bee block from the 3x6 bee ages ago. that block inspired the rest of the quilt
After making my first quilt, this Log Cabin quilt was my next project in line. It was a major task and after piecing this one I decided I never wanted to make another quilt that was going to be larger than a twin size quilt.!
The logs finished at 7/8" wide.
There are 17 logs in each block.
Each Block is 7 7/8" square (finished)
There is a total of 196 blocks. (set 14 across X 14 down)
The quilt measures 110" x 110" (without the red border)
It has 3,332 "log pieces" in the quilt.
I completed piecing it in about 3 months
Sadly I have not had it quilted yet but it was completed around the year 2000.
on the Snowden place, built in 1980-81 by mom and dad. ok, obviously the porch is not in good condition, but the roof's still up!
For this week's "thinking outside the square" I resurrected a triangle log cabin concept based on a quilt I had done about 5 years ago.
That project was originally a twin quilt that had both triangle and square log cabins, which I changed my mind and made a throw. I still had orphan blocks of 3 of the brown squares, 2 of the triangles, and 1 of the picture blocks, so I decided to make a wall hanging that's a derivative of the original.
The triangle log cabins were drafted on graph paper then I scanned that to make templates on the computer.
I cut the brown blocks to use as the border. My "wrong side" fabric is a metallic print dyed fabric, which I used for the binding.
It measures 28" square.
I'm in Ridgefield, CT.
A note: It occurred to me as I was finishing that I should have checked to see if using orphan blocks is against the spirit of the time-constraint aspect of the challenge, or if it constitutes an unfair time advantage to do that. So if the other contestants or the judges feel that warrants point deductions or disqualification, please say so and do what you think is appropriate (I'm happy to go with the judges and public opinion on it).

In 1742, young Oliver Miller emigrated with his family from County Antrim, Northern Ireland, to make a new life in America. He traveled west to Cecil County, Maryland and there he married Mary Tidball and kept a trading post. Later they moved to Friend's Cove near Fort Bedford and developed a small farm to support their growing family.
When land opened for settlement in Western Pennsylvania in 1770, the Millers with their ten children and the Tidball relatives were among the first to cross the Allegheny mountains by packhorse to claim land. On July 4, 1772 Oliver Miller purchased a tract of land on Catfish Run from Silas Dackster and settled on this site, later to be called Mansfield.
Trees were cleared, crops planted, and a two-story log house with a roof of split shingles was raised. This building was one of the first of its kind in the area and, being so rare, was known the country round as the "shingle-roofed house". Due to Indian raids, the family was forced to flee several times to forts on the Monongahela River.

Last summer my brother and grandfather reassembled a 19th century log cabin. Here are some photos of the building process, including shots of the old weathered wood itself.
Been experimenting with some mini quilts. I'm thinking of using this as the back. Blogged at www.tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com.

How to drive your auto-focus digital camera crazy-ask it to focus on something like this The other window and reflection picture didn't turn out so great-the camera keeps workin it until you click the shutter and heaven only knows what you've got in there. This one works though.
The Log Cabin Loyalist Memorial in a small parkette at Front Street and Dundas Street East in Belleville, Ontario.
One of a series of photographic slides taken by the Keller family of Belleville between 1964 and 1994.
This photo, taken in the Dolomites of Italy, shows the comfort that humans take in an indoor shelter. Without the lodge in the photo, one would feel a weaker sense of security upon looking up at the impeding storm clouds. In a way this photo takes me to that cold and rainy day, where laying in my bed, and listening to the drops of water crashing into my window has never felt more comfortable.
