Paisley Quilt using Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

Pin It
I was recently asked about this quilt.
Measures 50" x 50"

Paisley Quilt using Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

The topic was brought up about colors, styles and patterns. Quilter's color is fun, color does not have to always be matching, Try something new ! ! You will love it.

I don't think, I think outside the box,
I think I do what I like and when I like it, that is all that matters.

I made this to be washed all the time, it's the couch quilt.
It's machine pieced and hand quilted, with pearl cotton thread, so the stitches are a bit bigger, but not huge.

It's a very simple log cabin style pattern.

I didn't think the hard part of all this would be hanging it.
Finding the stubs, marking, drilling, lifting and finally on the wall. I filled the holes,
re-painted, vacuum and remade the bed.

The door was level, but the stain glass wasn't. Had to fix.

Looking at the pictures on the blog, I didn't like that there was no headboard.
Husband takes one day off during the week and we headed to a flea market. I mentioned a queen size headboard, but something different. And, look what we found. I liked the full walnut one that said, "Boys Locker Room", he picked this one. I think I'm rubbing off on him?

All the glass is perfect, I cleaned and cleaned.
We had the discussion to paint, I didn't.

He had to move the hinges to the other side so they could be left on,
They look great, old and a bit of rust. Love them.

Pine Tree Quilt Hand Quilting

Pin It

 I've started quilting on a lap quilt, a gift and I'm doing it by hand.

Pine Tree Quilt

I love triangles and the look of them as leaves is very nice. They are cut 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" and the quilt is simple and very attractive. All fabric from my scrap closet and the closet fabric is not going down??

Pine Tree Quilt

As a gift, I do the stitches a bit bigger than usual and this time I'm using pearl cotton thread. The stitches are not toe nail size but bigger than 12 stitches per inch.
