It is finally finished! This is the Paducah Log Cabin pattern from Judy Martin's Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts book. I made it with a number of reproduction William Morris cotton prints. I started this project for my mother-in-law, but there was a miscommunication about the size she needed, so I ended up changing the size and made it queen size for our bed.
This was a lot of work; I definitely underestimated how long it would take to finish. Though, in fairness, having to make an additional 48 blocks added at least a week to my schedule. I'm just happy to have finished the flimsy before the end of the month!
When the finished size changed, I ordered a navy blue wide backing and it still hasn't arrived. So, my option right now is to either make a pieced backing or wait for the wide back to arrive. Since I've already paid for the wide back, I'm inclined to wait for it. This will have to do for my One Monthly Goal.
I am quite pleased with how it has turned out so far! I've already got the quilting plan, so I should be able to finish that part as soon as I get the backing.

She's beautiful! I can't wait to see how she looks quilted, hope that backing fabric arrives soon. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really like how it turned out. I'm looking forward to getting the backing so I can get to work on this one.
DeleteIt is a beauty and must have been a lot of work. So worth it!
ReplyDeleteIt was, but totally worth it. Not really my colors though, so it will likely be looking for another home eventually.
DeleteThat is lovely, can't wait to see it quilted. Such a unique log cabin!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful finish! You did well considering you had to change the size part way through.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It did add a lot of blocks. I'm so relieved to have gotten this one assembled.
DeleteYour fabric choice of solid cream in opposition to the muddied, scrappy blues is lush. A lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I chose the cream color to match my mother-in-law's walls. LOL
