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?

Wow, it looks terrific. I also love the idea of the button in the centre square. It looks great.
I hope to make a log cabin quilt one day. This will most likely be over two years. I can then register for this course :)

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)

En inderdaad, dan ook nog die leuke knoopjes,...helemaal top!
