Bindings are finishes!

 I have 2 finishes this week after working hard on the bindings.

First my Rainbow Scrap Quilt from 2018.  Lots and lots of curved log cabin blocks made into a stunning quilt (144).  The black sashings and binding  contrasted well with the vibrant array of colored blocks and circular centers

                  

                           

Each block is 5 3/4 inches square.

 A happy floral quilting design finished the top off from my long armer. So glad to finally have this beauty off my list.  It has been many happy hours. New Title:  A-Round Square

My second quilt  finish is my miniature log cabin which was a precut from Pieceful Gatherings. Each block is 4 inches square and the logs are 1/2 inch wide.  This was started last fall and into a 45 inch top in  December. And now it is now completed with a red binding to match the hearth in the middle. 

                         

I don't know why but I really enjoy small pieces.  I have always had a hankering to make my blocks smaller. 

                          


  I actually quilted this one myself.  I started by accentuating the diagonal rows and star in the middle with straight lines.  I added a tear drop chain from the center of the surrounding blocks to each center. I made a pattern for the shape cutting out multiple freezer paper templates to stitch around. 

Lots of Logs!

  2. Two wonderful finishes! I love them both, the rich earthy tones of your miniature log cabin, although I coukdnt work with tiny pieces myself. And the circular design in your other log cabin is so dynamic and eye catching with the dramatic border. I'm most impressed!
