Cabin Fever!!

**Sorry, having problems today with Blogger, hope this posts okay**

Seems to me there is a trend of Log Cabin quilts lately.  I think it is a wonderful, traditional pattern.

Here is my quilt "Little Quilt on the Prairie".  I swapped finished blocks with my buddy Jill.

The backing is this fun vintage print advertising fabric.

The pattern is published in the new issue of Quilt Almanac 2013.

After being away I wanted to come home and sew something.  So I made this little doll quilt.  The logs are 3/4".  I think it would look great as a full sized quilt too.

 

I always think quilting these are a challenge.  I did what I call "Asian water" in the black furrows and diagonal lines in the tan furrows.

The backing is this great print of Mexican beads.

I also experimented with a red and tan combo.

Here is the back.  I quilted it with one large fan.  I'll probably use it for a candle or on my bedside table.

Here is the link to my Cabin Fever Pinterest board.  There are some great quilt ideas there.

On my next quilting post, I'll share with you a log cabin UFO that is nearly 20 years old.  How did that happen?
