I had only made one log cabin quilt in the time that I have been quilting and that has to be
more than 20 years ago.
I had this fabric (kansas troubles) left over from another quilt and wasn't
sure as to the pattern.
Then it hit me. I had the right amount of darks and lights.
It measures 50" by 62". A nice size for a lap quilt.
It all started last fall. I was offered a Schwinn bike.
Yes it's has been awhile since I rode a bike
but you know the old saying you never forget. So I did a trade off.
The bike for a quilt.
I am really pleased how this lap quilt turned out and I know the recipient will be pleased.
So this Easter weekend I pick up my schwinn bike
and my sister-in-law gets this gorgeous quilt.
I can't wait to go riding with Mr. Dh.
Well if you ask me it's a Sch'win'n, Sch'win'n for everyone!! Love the quilt...log cabin is one of my all time favourites!! Your SIL is going to flip!!

That's a win win trade for sure, Linda. Your SIL is going to love your beautiful quilt. Enjoy your bike and Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and I don't think that I've ever made a log cabin either in all the time I've been quilting. Looks like both you and your SIL are on the winning end of this deal.
ReplyDeleteThe log cabin is one of my most favorite quilts ... I've made 3 and have the strips ready to go for a 4th when I finish my B&W single Irish chain quilt. I love yours ... your SIL is going to love it!
