I love it! I think it's so fun to look back at how we started and see how we've grown on our quilting journey. The log cabin quilt is so beautiful and I'm sure it is loved.

I've only recently discovered these, and haven't (yet!) made one. I agree that you sometimes just have to dive right in to these things. The log cabin quilt is beautiful too ... a favourite of mine too! The first quilt I made was for my brother's wedding. I bought a book on how to make quilts and worked through all the lessons in the book and then made a bear paw quilt for him. It took me two years to finish, and he only got a token quilt square as a wrapped wedding gift! <br />Wendy<br />September Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-15622930870730714712015-11-16T12:04:48.235-05:002015-11-16T12:04:48.235-05:00Love the way your one block wonder turned out.

Quilts made with non-traditional fabrics are really neat, and I can picture yours. The bulky seams may be an issue, but I bet the texture is fabulous. And I love that extra wide binding. Who cares for ALWAYS ALWAYS 1/4" bindings? Sometimes I have to mix it up and freak some people out with non-traditional binding approaches.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-37055213671621756222015-11-12T16:46:22.063-05:002015-11-12T16:46:22.063-05:00Haha.

I haven't made a one block wonder or a log cabin for that matter, but have always been intrigued by them. There is something to be said about not knowing how to do something. I think you are more brave, because you haven't learned yet that it is considered to be difficult.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109527732253977468.post-61382098164742024582015-11-12T14:05:35.465-05:002015-11-12T14:05:35.465-05:00Really Lara, your first quilt??!!

I don't put borders on quilts much anymore, but this is kind of a neat way to do it, even if narrow bindings are the trend now. I agree that Log Cabin quilts are warm and comforting. And they can be made to fit anyone's style! Your trunk may be wee, but it's wonderful!

First, I think the quilt is fantastic and please don't do a thing with it!! It truly is wonderful!! I did the exact same thing for my first quilt - microfiber suede and wait for it. . . Ralph Loren home decor BURLAP!! Yes, burlap. . . scratchy, definitely the antithesis of snuggle worthy LOL That quilt still lives on our bed in the summer! Oh, and I did not quilt the burlap - there is a strip that is over 100 inches wide and about 36 inches tall that has NO quilting on it. . . hehe <br /><br />That wavy log cabin!! OH.MY!
