I'm calling these "Slave Quarters" because they are 1 room log cabins.
I selected the backings based on my friends interests. I also attached the scrappy binding log cabin style.
Here is a Pretty In Pink courthouse step dolly quilt I made for Diane's Birthday. We both love double pinks. She currently has a great liberated log cabin on her blog from the same era as mine.
I chose this backing because we also both love lettering and script on fabrics.
And finally a blast from the past. Here is a funky little liberated log cabin doll quilt that I made at the same 1995 Gwen Marston retreat as my recently finished quilt.
This one is made of all plaids with a yellow center, which is called light in the window.
The backing is scrappy leftovers.
I unearthed several little doll quilt tops while cleaning out the sewing room. They are nice small projects that I can work on while the sorting and cleaning continues.
I'll be on hiatus for Friday as I'm going to the QuiltFest of NJ. I'll share some photos soon.
Did you enter any quilts?? I don't envy you cleaning up and packing...any things you don't know what to do with, sewing stuff, I'll send my address (LOL). Have Fun on Friday!

Isn't amazing what we find when we clean up and out? Perfect little rug mugs, they will love them. The pinks are great and I really like that fabric on the back too, is it an old one? I love Gwen and all her quilts, itlooks like you enjoyed yourself making that little gem!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Barb! I've always wanted to make a log cabin quilt -- other things just seem to get in the way. Have a great time at the quilt show!
ReplyDeleteAnother inspiring post full of quilty loveliness. I am tempted to shelve my current projects and make log cabin blocks! Thanks, Barb.

The plaid quilt is wonderful. I love plaids almost as much as JulieQ!!
Mmmm...I just love the all plaid log cabin, it has real homespun personality and speaks to me...lol. LC has always been up at the top of my favorite quilt block. Thanks for sharing all of yours! I was the lucky recipient of one of the "slave quarters"...only you would think of that name...so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so lovely. The plaid is my favorite. Love the way the cabins get a little crooked, like they're dancing.
