New Log Cabin Quilt
A wonderful consolation to her, nicely done!
Karen, Queen of Squishies ----- www.PlayPianoNow.info Well, I just finished my latest quilt. A 66"x 66" lap quilt for my wife; (the self professed quilting widow). I think it is my best effort to date. Hope you like it. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y74...CabinQuilt.jpg John |

Wow, John, that's gorgeous. I'm curious. I notice that your center sashings are a little wider than the others. Were you following a pattern or was this a design element that seemed like a good idea on your own? Never saw that before (of course, there's lots I've never seen) but it looks wonderful. Polly I used a picture in one of my quilt books as inspiration. There would be no way to reduce the width of the center sashings, as that would reduce the overall width of that group of squares to some degree. Or at least to my understanding of it. The center sashings are consistent both horizontally and vertically so I think it balances out in the long run. And the (sashings) are in fact created by the dark color strip on the outside (dark color) of the pattern squares. They just are dominant because they are butted, when placed in that orientation. In a couple of pictures in the same book, they show a zig-zag pattern which does not have that effect due to the non butting of the dark colors. All strips are 1" finished and consistent throughout.

John, it's GORGEOUS! Now your wife isn't a quilt widow, she's a recipient!

John I have set up a Bernina 220, with lots of pressure feet, for my wife to use and I helped her make her first apron last week. She picked out the fabric and did a great job on it. I bought her some vegetable themed fabric, online and she loved them. ( We are long time Vegetarians). She will be making 3 more aprons from that fabric, and maybe the bug will bite her by the time she finishes them. I hope so, with the one caveat; I demand the right of possession on the new steam generator iron. This is a non negotiable demand and I will fight to defend it. Just kidding! It would be great if we could share my passon for sewing. John |
