I began work on this log cabin quilt late in 2022 and put
the last stitch in its label last night.
It was paper pieced and the logs are just slightly wider than ½ inch. It contains 154 4 ½ inch blocks and a total
of 2,002 pieces. Final dimensions are 49
X 63 inches and I logged about 11 hours on my sit-down quilting machine.
This was a project I turned to when I wanted to do mindless
stitching. My other current projects
require too much attention, so I’ll need to think about what my next therapeutic
machine project will be. I certainly
have enough scraps to keep me busy if I just make some decisions and get them
cut up.
We are enjoying lovely weather here and things are beginning
to bloom including our Mountain Laurel bushes.
I noticed the pollinators were happily feasting on the one in front yesterday. We may have a chance for rain this week, but it
is predicted to be very light in our area.

I admire your patience to make the quilt as large as it is with such small blocks. It is striking.
neat quilt and such little strips used bet you are glad it is done!
Goodness I am amazed at how many pieces and your patience. It is a beautiful quilt! That's a pretty mountain laurel. We are enjoying many beautiful white Bradford pear trees in bloom in our area. Looks like snow on the ground underneath them!
