Log Cabin Progress

Image
 I've been busy sewing more Log Cabin blocks this week.  This was my progress when I last posted.

Image
These five blocks have been completed.

Image
 At that point I was all out of strips and had to cut some more.

Image
I cut, sorted, and bagged the remaining fabric I had on hand for this project.

Image
Off I went to sew some more!

Image
It looks like I am going to end up with a total of nine blocks.

If you know me...you know I love my kitties!  I thought it would be fun to share some photos of my kitty helpers today.  This is Trail Mix, helping to hold down one of my hexie projects.

Trail Mix found her way into the quilt cabinet, too.

What?  I can't sit in here?  But it's a big box full of fabric!

Oh Kitty!  I hope that was fun for you, too.

Purple Passion Quilt Homecoming

Image
 The Purple Passion quilt arrived home from Modern Quilts Unlimited recently.  I'm so happy to have it back.  I always give my quilts a welcome home hug as soon as I get them out of the shipping box.  Thank you, MQU for taking such good care of my quilt.  Here's a peek into the making of the Purple Passion quilt:

Image
 Six gorgeous fabrics from Timeless Treasures.

Image
 Testing my block pattern.  This color combination would make an interesting quilt, too.

Image
 Tracing curves for cutting.

Image
 Six little purple rainbows.

Image
 Flip side of blocks as they are being sewn into rows.

Image
 The center of the quilt flying free on my clothesline.

Image
 Pinning the solid black border into place.

Image
 Purple squares sewn into strips for the next border.

Image
Paper piecing triangles for the purple triangle border.

Image
Fold and sew.

Image
All the borders are on.

Image
Swirly quilting.  

Image
I only quilted over the black fabrics.

Image
Quilting...

Image
Quilting...

Image
Quilted.

Image
The backing fabric.

Image
Purple Passion!

Image
I'll be sleeping under this quilt tonight.  So warm and cozy.  The pattern for the Purple Passion quilt is in Issue 21 of Modern Quilts Unlimited.  If you sew a Purple Passion quilt, please send me a pic.  I would love to see it!
