Log Cabin Quilt
Today I put the final border on my Log Cabin Quilt. I've been working on it for about 3 years when we are in our 5th Wheel. This has been my take-along project. The blocks are tiny 3" squares with 17 pieces in each block. There are 502 of these blocks! When I do the math on this, it adds up to 8534 pieces.
I really enjoy looking at the fabrics because they remind me of the many friends who have given me little pieces of fabric to put into it. Only the inside border was made from yardage. Everything else was made from pieces that were intended to be thrown away. This photo below gives a good perspective of how small the pieces are in comparison to the quarter.

Wow! I love it! It is worth the time it took you to make it!
Linda, this is beautiful! I have always wanted to make a long cabin but wow, this is a stunner. I think I have asked you before..where is Southern Illinois do you live? I live in Mt. Vernon but travel with my job all over southern Illinois. Love to find a quilty friend in my area!
Oh my goodness, that is simply gorgeous! Beyond words! The log cabin is my favorite quilt pattern, but I don't know that I have the fortitude to make one with 3" blocks!
I, too, am from southern Illinois ... closer to St. Louis ... and am also interested in finding a quilty friend.
It looks like you winter in southern Alabama? In Fairhope? My dad winters in Orange Beach, which wouldn't be that far from you. I was just down there in January. I'd love to be able to winter somewhere warm and near the beach, but I couldn't bear to leave my grandkids for that long. ;-)
Oh!! It is amazing! What a beautiful accomplishment!
Fabulous! Your superb workmanship is only surpassed by your self-discipline. Brava!
I love your quilt! It makes me want to start one.
