Made for my son's teacher. Baby was born in May 2008 AND she received it BEFORE the birth!!
I love the design of this one. I carefully placed the strips to give a glowing affect.
Il metodo Ă© preso dal libro "Glorious Patchwork di Kaffe Fasset. Io lo lavoro liberamente .Without paper foundatio. Like a log cabin but: middle-above-below-left-right.Thanks.
That title probably doesn't make sense unless you're a quilter! The center block is inspired by the Bento Box quilt pattern. I say inspired by because I don't actually have the pattern, but I've seen it on lots of blogs. Then I did strips of fabric around the center square like you would do on a log cabin quilt. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Most of the fabric is from Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy collection with a bit of Lecien My Folklore and Moda Lush thrown in. 34" x 45". Machine pieced and machine quilted. Will be given to one of my sorority sisters from college who recently had a baby boy.
Tuesday, 6 August 2024: very overcast, gloomy day today with cooler temperatures. Only 14C at 4:00 pm. Sure beats the high 20Cs/low 30C!
Monday, 5 August 2024: our weather forecast for yesterday was tornado chance with severe storms! Only 19C just after noon.
Yay, in the evening of 3 August 2024, the wind picked up and we had thunder and rain, thank goodness. With the various wildfires in Alberta and British Columbia, along with so much hot, dry weather, we need not every drop of rain, but every bucketful! Unfortunately, the rain only lasted a very short time.
On 2 August 2024 (can't believe it is already August!), I did a long, exhausting day drive, covering NW, SW and SE of Calgary. My plans changed on the spur of the moment once I headed back to Calgary from the NW. Originally, I decided to go NW, as I haven't been out that way for quite a while.
Heading W from home, I couldn't resist stopping to check if the Common Loon I saw almost a week ago was there again. Scanning the large pond, I saw no sign of life. Then, suddenly, in the far distance, I saw a bird fly in and land on the water. 'Duck' was the first thing that went through my mind. Then, when I zoomed in on my camera, I couldn't believe my eyes - it was the Loon again! The weather was better than the awful weather/light the last time I saw it there so, fortunately, I was able to get better shots.
Feeling very thankful, I headed N, hoping I might just see a Turkey Vulture that a few people had been reporting. It had been seen in the same area as the rare Whooping Crane. No luck. I was curious to see if the Crane was in the wetland, as when I had seen it recently, it was far more distant than that. I pulled into the pull-off, glanced quickly and saw nothing, and was about to reverse, when I realized that a red truck that belonged to some ranch had pulled over on the road right behind me. A guy was taking photos with his cell phone and it looked like he was taking photos of my vehicle. Then I noticed a sign that said No Parking. Of course, I thought he was probably going to report me - though I was not parked, as I hadn't even turned off my engine, knowing I was only going to be there a matter of seconds. So annoying, and I couldn't get it out of my mind the rest of the day.
I couldn't wait to leave the whole area and head further N. Came to the town of Cochrane and ALL the construction going on. For someone with a driving phobia, trust me, it was a nightmare. Then all I could think about was knowing that I would have to go through it all again later on.
One thing I really wanted to see again was a beautiful old, pale grey barn, in great condition. Further on, I noticed a Kestrel perched on a high wire. I could only take three quick shots through my windscreen, which resulted in awful photos, but I was happy to see it. Such beautiful birds of prey.
It was good to see several old barns/homesteads along the way, even more so as I wasn't seeing any more birds. Also, the sky was so beautiful.
Once i was down SW and SE of Calgary, hawks and one Vesper Sparrow were my only sightings. Two were on their nest and two were on hay bales at different locations. One of the latter, standing on a very distant bale, looked almost like a Ferruginous Hawk. Google Lens's first ID said Red-tailed Hawk, 3rd ID Ferruginous, so I still don't know.
By the time I arrived home, after driving 393 km and 9 and a half hours, on a very hot day, I was dead beat. A great day, though, with the Loon being a highlight.
Many years ago I worked for a living. Each Christmas I would make ornaments for my coworkers. The year my oldest son was born, 1992, they were tiny log cabin blocks set on point. That year I also received a promotion to supervisor. Let's just say I underestimated the amount to time it would take to finish the ornaments. After several more years went by my unfinished ornaments became a pillow top. Now I enjoy seeing them each year as we take out the Christmas decorations.
The pillow is constructed of 36 blocks and is approximately 10" square...it is a very fat little pillow...and I'd wager that I used an easy number when I cut the pieces...my guess is that each block is 2" square unfinished. That makes the little pieces about 1/4" wide.

I'm making a log cabin for Tim and Annabel. The wedding is in October, so I'm starting to poke around for inspiration now. My current obsession will be the organizing fabric, I think.
this is the completed scrappy cabin top. all the blocks are different sizes, sashed with natural linen. blogged at www.tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com
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.
Located on the southeastern corner of Courthouse Square in Liberty, Indiana, United States. It was built in 1805 and moved to its current location in 1980.
I love finding these old log cabins. There must be hundreds of them in the back woods of south Alabama. Everyone is like find a treasure, and each one tells a different story by what's been left behind.
i finished the pillows for ryan's new couch. i guess the couch isn't *that* new anymore because this project took a while to complete. but it's still new-ish.
i'm pretty happy with how they turned out and i look forward to more fabric projects in the future once the fabric i ordered online arrives...
Stonewall Jackson - one of the more famous generals from the US civil war - was from Virginia, by the end of the war West Virginia had split off and become a separate state, on the side of the USA. Jackson's family donated a sizeable chunk of land to make amends. My wife spent many summers here at 4H camp. .

Log cabin style quilt made from a fat quarter pack I got as a gift. The colors were perfect for my parent's living room, so the quilt was made for her birthday!
this quilt is hard to photograph - it is ginormous. log cabins are mainly a mix of heather ross' mendocino and tula pink's neptune, surrounded by white cotton, and bound with yellow. back is fleece, plus a big log cabin in the middle.
