1860's Log Cabin Quilt and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!!!

 Happy Friday!!!!  ( the LAST Friday of February!!!!)

Even though I have been on Vacation - you know I had to finish something before I left to make sure I could show off today!!!

This is an 1860's Log Cabin Quilt and I am in love with it!!!

This was a find by Deb!!! She found a bag of blocks in a Basement and they needed a LOT of work!!


She hand washed each one, and re-stitched the ones that were coming apart. then She set them in this setting!

its amazing!!



I was discussing it with my friend K and then I talked with Deb too - we haven't seen a Log Cabin this old with half squares as the center block. I am sure they were there - but just not documented. Have you seen one?   

Truly - its just lovely!!!




And that Cheddar - Swoon worthy!!! I like how the make kept the cheddar rows consistent - In my opinion it draws the quilt together!! 


I did have to give it back, but I put a caveat on the invoice - if she ever doesn't love it anymore... call me first!!!



Now you all know what time it is right?   FINISHED ( or not) FRIDAY LINK UP!!!!

LOVE this! it is absolutely beautiful, and I love the HST as a center for the log cabins. How old do you think the blocks are?
I am so happy to be able to add my link to your linkup - it has been a long time since I posted. :)

That's a quilt with a lot of "wow" factor. The cheddar does really add that character. Deb did a great job salvaging the blocks, you wouldn't know they were that old.

That is a beauty, Alycia! The work that Deb put into those blocks to restore them is amazing. And your quilting adds so much. I love the cheddar, too! Happy Friday!
