log cabin

Now that the nights are getting colder it's time to finish of this quilt.
It's a log cabin I sew on the machine, the fast and easy way! I quilt by hand and I'm half done, so far.

log cabin

I quilt straight lines following the log cabin pattern.
In the borders I quilt a raster.

buttons
In the middle of each square I sew a little button.
These are old vintage ones!

This would be a nice warm quilt for winter times. And the combination of this quilt with white bedding is lovely. I do love clean, fresh white bedding! So I better hurry up and get quilting!

It's absolutely gorgeous! Log cabins are the ultimate scrap quilt and the hand quilting and buttons are a lovely touch..it's a quilt that is sure to warm you. BTW I'm curious...what is your fast and easy method for your log cabin squares?

iedereen heeft het al gezegd, maar misschien voegt een nederlandse versie nog iets extra's toe ;o)

Mooie quilt, prachtig al die verschillende stofjes! Daar ben ik helemaal weg van, maar dat zul je inmiddels wel weten,...:o)
