Log Cabin Challenges

Last week I told you about our Log Cabin Challenge at our guild. The cool part was I got to quilt a few of the quilts in the challenge.

So I thought I would Show you a few of them.  Now mind you - in all of my thinking and postulating about why I didn't care for mine so much, comes this theory.  I loved everyone else's and wish I had made that!!!  Too funny!


Isn't this one cool? With all the batiks and them running up and down?  I quilted feathers all over it in lines. It turned out pretty neat! And it softened the effect of the zig zag. Perfect for one of her Granddaughters!


Then there was this Wonky Log Cabin. This client pieced it SO beautifully!! She said it was out of her color and style range, but wanted to challenge herself - and I believe she rose to the challenge!
 Oh yes - the back....


This client did another amazing job!  She wanted a 3d Circly effect.  I had fun drawing up images to see what would look the best.


And of course - the back.
Those are my three finishes to show off this week. I didn't piece a one of them - but I sure enjoyed quilting them! And I was glad they liked them too!

Oh man, they are all fabulous and your quilting is awesome as usual! That grey one. . . I don't think I've ever seen one done like that before - it is stunning! Like I need another to add to my list, but add it to my list I am!! :)

I really like them all but of course the rainbow one is my favorite.

Cathy said...

Who knew there was such a variety in log cabins? And who would think circles for a log cabin. Wow...they really add to it. Beautiful quilting job.

Those are some awesome log cabins! Thanks for the eye candy!

Rachel said...

I especially like that last one! It's amazing how the right quilting can make a straight pieced quilt look curved. Nice work!
