Log Cabin Sofa Quilt
I’ve been cutting and stitching like crazy in hopes of finishing a sofa quilt for Christmas gifting. It certainly would have been a wiser decision had it been made earlier in the year but the idea came to me in November.
It’s been a perfect project for the bitter cold, icy days we’ve been experiencing. I’ve enjoyed digging through my ever-growing stash for light and dark fabrics. The only tedious part was cutting hundreds of strips to finish at 3/4″. Thankfully, all materials and supplies needed to make this quilt was on hand so I wasn’t required to venture out in nasty weather.
It was hand quilted in a hoop while I watched movies on my computer. Unfortunately, the hoop broke as I was finishing the last block. I order new hoops and worked at quilting the sawtooth border without one. Because of the weather delays for shipping, the new hoops didn’t arrive until the quilt was already finished.
Oh well! Now I’ll just have to plan another hoop-quilted project. A friend of my son is soon to welcome a new baby. Sounds like a good excuse to make another quilt.
I’ve had my eye on a free pattern featured on Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville blog. I want to make Patches and Pinwheels and think it will be a precious baby boy’s quilt.
I want to wish everyone a fabulous, fun-filled Christmas and a joyous and blessed New Year!
