Log Cabin Quilts

I decided to use for a courthouse steps project my african fabrics and some offered by my quilting friends. In the borders are photos of my mother in Africa where we have been staying for 12 years in the ’50s, the happiest time in her life, as she used to say. My mother died in January this year.

The bride wanted just a plain camouflage top – just a large square. Well, I couldn’t stand it… I had to add a pieced border and chose the log cabin as that is what the groom was building for them. Not much piecing required but it sure changed the looks of the quilt. They both loved it.

I wanted to make a quilt to display on a huge wall in our new house. After making 144 log cabin blocks I finally decided on a setting. My youngest son fell in love with the quilt so I named it after him. This is my first log cabin quilt and I loved every step of it. It won 1st in our local show.

I made this quilt for my Grand-Mum’s 80th birthday. It was one of my first attempt at needle turn applique and at prairie points but I loved the way it came out. I was happy to find red and green fabrics which were not Christmas fabrics. My GrandMa has the quilt on her bed all the time.

This quilt started with a totally different design, but I kept playing with the fans and logs ’til I came up with one I liked better!! Mostly thimbleberries fabrics, with a few Jo Mortons and repros thrown in for fun (!), and quilted by the fabulous Mary Flynn at Quilt Hollow!

My daughter-in-law chose this quilt as her wedding quilt because she loves the browns, greens and golds. Those colors represent the bayous of our state while the red represents the heart of the Cajun people. My son made a beautiful bed for their room. They treasure both handmade items very much.

This quilt was made for my sweet hubby who is away from home in a truck quilte a bit. It was a surprize to him that I would make a quilt for him to take on th road. I made it so that he would have a little bit of home with him when he is away. He loved it of course.

There were so many different layouts to choose from after I made all of these blocks, but this is the one I loved the most! I hope that I can eventually make another one to show the difference the layout of the blocks make. So many quilts, so little time…

As you can see by my blog name I love Scarlet and Gray. What that really means is that I LOVE the Ohio State Buckeyes!! After a 12 year break I got back into quilting 5 years ago. Scarlet and Gray All Over is one of many of my recent quilts that use those colors. It’s from a Marti Michell book.

This was my third version, over ten years, of my design. Each strip of every finished block is the same width. I cut strips 1.5 x 8″

I have no idea how many hundreds of different fabric strips I used. I had to move them off the table one time. Thanksgiving.

I saw this quilt as a photo in Quiltmania. I have an oil painting in my room of Egyptian gods – man and woman that has all these colors. It was a great challenge as I’m a fairly new quilter. Won’t do one this large any time soon – it will be my bedspread.

A fairly typical two-tone log cabin, with the traditional red centre square. The random scattering of extra red squares happened when I joined together strips cut from fat quarters!
Your eyes are not deceiving you – the yellow strips are finished width 1″, while the blue strips are 1.25″.

I used a design from the book Not Your Grandmother’s Log Cabin book and changed the color combination and layout to create a wall hanging that I can use during Christmas to decorate my home. I often don’t make things to keep for myself, so this is a very fun and special project to me.

My own original design, regular piecing, foundation paper piecing and machine applique. FMQ freehand on my Janome 6600. The name comes from it being the 13th version I designed and that at one stage, a friend pointed out that the twisted corners looked like ‘fangs’ – so it became ‘Fandango’!

This is the first quilt I ever made. My 9-year-old daughter wanted to decorate her room using purple and zebra print. I decided to go with a quilt that was still a traditional pattern, but let her update it with the fabrics. She chose them all herself and they suit her perfectly!
