it's a log cabin💖affair

Having a backlog of quilt tops waiting to be quilted was making me just a bit restless. So, a few weeks ago I sorted out a few backings & sent four quilts off to the quilters. They've all come back now and I have two completely finished, bindings & pics done✅. 

And this week I decided I'd tackle another one. 

My Housetop no6 quilt top was made back in February 2024, definitely time to turn it into a quilt. I went a bit loosey goosey here, making my own version of a 'house top' quilt. It's a variation of the log cabin block obviously inspired by the Gees Bend quilters and their amazing quilts & a recent quilt from Windham Fabrics.

Love a quilt that's made from bits & pieces from past quilts, it was a real trip down memory lane. I recently read ... "This quilt is proof that scraps aren’t leftovers, they’re future quilts waiting to happen" ... and I guess it's sew true around here too!

My gentle soft 'green' log cabin quilt top was virtually the same size, so I used it as a backing. 

I had this one quilted in a 'simply sunflowers' panto by Marita from quilters anonymous. It took me some time to settle on a binding, I usually tend to opt for something a little darker, a little more defining. However, in the end I went with a light minty green solid which worked out nicely with both sides.  

Yes, love how well these log cabins work together💖

until next time, Linda
