In between quilts, I'm working on my Farmhouse shawl. It's a very relaxing knit, nothing too challenging for a newbie knitter like me. I have this month to finish it up as it doesn't cool down properly here until October and I'm looking forward to wearing it.

Petite log cabin
Yet another scrap quilt from my bottomless pit of a scrap bucket. It doesn't look like your typical log cabin style quilt, but that's the method I used to construct the blocks. I squared them up with my 9.5 inch square ruler, added sashing with "points" and a scrappy border. It measures out at 43x43, which is fine because I already have a gazillion throw size quilts, and it's nice to make one for the fun of it and not worry about the size. Before the binding was finished, I was already pulling fabrics for the next quilt. It seems my sewing mojo has returned. I even dusted off the old featherweight.

That log cabin quilt looks great, I like the points in the border. Beautiful. Greetings
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt Lynne! I was admiring it for ages on IG! I love the effect you got around the edges where the border zigzags in and out! Did you use a pattern for the border? It would look great in many settings!
ReplyDeleteThe farmhouse shawl is going to be fantastic when finished.The quilt is stunning. I find quilting so hard so when i see such work I admire it a lot x
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt a lot it is soo pretty (like all the quilts you make), and your knitting looks very nice not like the work of a beginner more like the work of an expert.

I envy you your knitting for the finished product, but don't think it's my deal, the work.:) Very fun quilt finish! Such an interesting pattern. I too enjoy not worrying about how big a quilt will end up. They seem to tell us when they are done don't they? lol
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me just about every single time--that quilt is great. And your featherweight has me green with envy! :)
