Stripes and dots and plaids, oh my!  I made two (I think) log cabin quilts years ago, or variations thereon.  One was a red/white/blue for a friend whose birthday is near the 4th of July, the other was mostly blues.  Boring.  Then voila'!  I saw a picture of a bright log cabin quilt that made me rummage around and find all these cool (and warm!) fabrics.  A few months ago, I had the urge to get Marti Michell's log cabin ruler, so I was ready to jump right in and start cutting.

These are just stuck up on the wall, with no plan except the darker sides alternating up and down.  Then I took the picture, and another voila'!  It's amazing what taking a snapshot can do to your perspective.  Of course, I'm familiar with the various traditional log cabin settings, and it's going to be fun playing with these!  Not just the dark/light interplay, but also the color arrangement!  Wheeeeee, having fun!

Go see Judy's blog today, where there are lots of "Design Wall Monday" posts, and interesting things to look at :-)  2012/01/30/design-wall-monday-january-30-2012/

It's done, done, done!  I've had this delightful Mary Engelbreit semi-finished quilt top and backing in my UFO pile for awhile.  I had the front finished, and loved it. I had the back finished, which was totally scrappy, bits and pieces, strips and parts, with the two "Friends" sayings in the middle.  The problem was that I couldn't decide if they would be two quilts, or front and back.  Of course, as you can deduce, they melded into one, I quilted it, and bound it, and it is fini!  I practiced quilting leaves all over because my buddy MA brought me a top to quilt that is made up of lots of autumn leaves, and she suggested leaves as the quilt motif.  I'm liking this already!
