I finished my scrappy log cabin quilt yesterday! I started it around the middle of January. That was fast! Making a quilt doesn’t seem like such a long term daunting project like it used to. I think it’s partly because I have more time on my hands since my girls are big now. And it’s also because the more quilts I make the less each one seems like a big endeavor. Brian says I need to start selling them because we will have too many hanging around the house. Maybe I need to start giving them away. I won’t stop make them because each step of the making gives me so much pleasure.

Anyway here it is – I used wool batting – it might be my favorite because it’s a natural material and it’s the most fluffy. I used a striped duvet cover that I bought at IKEA for the backing.

Here it is with the sun shining through it (and tall husband holding it).


Now I should think about organizing for our move – hmmmm – not nearly as fun.
