Here is the mystery quilt top I couldn't show you a few weeks ago. My scrap quilting club met yesterday and now I can have the big reveal. To learn more about this quilt and to see some in different colorways, go to this post.
I got a few steps completed on a WIP. This mock log cabin quilt was started in September 2009. I don't know why I put it up as it is really simple. Maybe I didn't like the colors as they are not usually my bright jewel tones. Although I couldn't get the colors to show up correctly at night, this is a pretty quilt and reminds me of tiles. This will be a quilt for a male family member. I need to work on my family/friends quilt list as I only have about 10 more to make. Before you ask, the number needed was well over 100. My goal is to make everyone in my family a quilt from my grandmother on down the family tree. Some of them have managed to get more than one from me. I still need to pick a fabric and add one more plain border before this one is done.

ReplyDeleteTea, I like the change you made to Cathedral Stars :) I popped over to Bonnie's blog to see what you were explaining and it spices up the edges.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt. Hard to imagine that you are making a quilt for every member of your family. That is a lot of quilts. How long will it be until everyone has one?
ReplyDeleteYour cathedral stars is beautiful. And I really like the mock log cabin. I have never seen that design.
