Happy Sunday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I'm so happy to be sharing with you my latest finish. A few days ago I completed my scrappy log cabin quilt. I've been working on it for a few weeks already (you can see my progress here and here). It all started as an attempt to use up some of my fabric scraps (as you know they just keep on multiplying). I never thought I was going to be able to get a quilt out of them, I thought maybe a couple of pillows or a table runner of some sort. But, boy was I wrong in my calculations: a 50X60 inches quilt was born and I'm beyond happy of how it turned out. This color combo is so happy and cheerful; like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
I kept debating on how to quilt it, but at the end I decided on simple straight lines. It adds a wonderful texture to the quilt and blends nicely with the log cabins.
After such and unexpected finish I wonder what my next scrappy project would be. Time to start sorting through my fabric scraps and hope inspiration will strike.
Wishing you a lovely week.

Wow Martha! Your quilt is absolutely beautiful and the photos are some of the best I have seen displaying a quilt. Very striking. Congratulations on all of it! I'm very glad to have discovered your blog via Fabricmutt's Sew the Library series. Cheers, Kelly
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly! I'm so glad you stopped by. Sew the Library has been such a fun experience.
DeleteThat colour combination is stunning! Maybe I need more yellows in my stash...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I think the straight line quilting was a god idea, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and such stunning photography! Love the combination of the yellow and grey.... Especially with those little pops of red. The fact that there are polka dots is just a bonus. The simple straight line quilting is such a compliment to this sweet quilt. Gorgeous finish, Martha!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is gorgeous - and right up my alley with tons of yellow sunshine! But the PICTURES!!!! The look straight out of a tourism ad, for a quilt retreat of course. :D Really great job on both!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!! This quilt is just bursting with happiness and fun. What a fabulous way to use all those scraps. I love thinking that a beautiful quilt came from those little pieces of leftover fabric xx.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and perfectly showcased against that sky of blue and field of yellow blossoms! Nicely done on all fronts!
