This post has been a long while in the making and is considerably overdue. Today I picked up my Log Cabin quilt from the quilter. I still have to take it home and bind it this weekend, but I have it back.This quilt is only the second quilt I have ever made...for myself. The first was only recently, as well, and was a t-shirt quilt made of all my beloved Alpha Phi Omega shirts from college. The Log Cabin is the quilt I have always wanted to see on my rustic bed in my little country school house and I went to great pains to make sure it was exactly what I wanted it to be. I can't wait to get it home and put the blue binding on it this weekend so it can be on display for the holidays.

BEAUTIFUL! I love it!
It's beautiful Beth! I'm impressed that you can cook and quilt - good for you! I have missed seeing your food posts, but it sounds like you have been productive quilting! Thanks for the comment about the mustard-caper sauce. I bought that butter at the Fresh Market. I don't know if you have one near you, but if it is anywhere closeby then it's worth a trip. Take a cooler! I think the butter was about $5, but so worth it. Have a really great Thanksgiving! Display the quilt loud and proud!!
Great quilt! Can you post a picture of your A-Phi-O quilt? Thanks!
Awesome! You haven't posted about quilts in a while. I'm considering getting into long arm quilting, just joined a guild last weekend, so I fully appreciate the work done both on the quilt top and on the quilting! Beautiful!
Hey HarriMac! Thanks for stopping by, Brother! I talked about that quilt in this post:
