Log Cabin Table Runner & Quilt

I found some log cabin quilt blocks in my UFO box from years and years ago. I had 2 sizes of blocks and so separated them out into 2 piles. Not only were the sizes different, but the smaller pile was brighter fabrics. I didn't want to make more blocks, so the bright log cabins I made into a table runner. The other log cabin blocks were from a group I used to belong to where we made and exchanged quilt blocks. I never did anything with those blocks, so I laid them all out on my floor and used all but 2 blocks, because I didn't want to make more blocks and in order to use them all I would have needed to make more blocks. It will be nice as a baby quilt and I used polyester batting that was a bit lofty, so I did a simple diagonal quilting on it.

Log Cabin Quilt...Finally Finished!

I started this log cabin quilt at a quilt retreat over a decade ago!!! I got the blocks done shortly after the retreat, but they sat for years in a pile. I actually made a log cabin star quilt in these fabrics first.  (See last photo) These were the leftover blocks I had.

Has a different look shown this way. Is it upside down? Hmm... not sure which way it looks better.

I sold this quilt at a quilt show.

This was the log cabin star quilt I made at the quilt retreat years ago. (Can you see the large star in the center of the quilt?) So now I have 2 log cabin quilts, each  with the same fabrics, but different looking.

Quilts I Made About 10 Years Ago

I made these quilts about 10 years ago. The blue and yellow quilt was a technique from Margaret Miller's book entitled, Strips That Sizzle. I quilted this quilt by hand. Click on photo for a larger view.I made the star log cabin quilt at a quilt retreat. Done in blues and naturals with a red center, it was lacking something. So I added the applique flowers to give the quilt a bit more sparkle and that helped to really bring it all together.
