This gorgeous little quilt, a log cabin (with red centers!!) was found by me, on Pinterest. When I drilled down to find who made it, I found that this one is a kit, sold on Overstock.com. Anyway...if this is your quilt...it is the cutest thing ever!!! Just another example of how versatile the log cabin block is.
OK...So I wish I were this organized! I made this kit probably ten years ago, and even made a sample block so I could figure it out again in the future, LOL!!! All reproductions, which tells me this was before the scraps and plaids took over my quilting life. I think the reason 1800's reproductions were so much a part of my life, is that we had a quilt shop near us...and it was almost every bolt, reproduction fabrics. I love them...but I love all fabrics, so no surprise there!
Thank you so those who have e-mailed in their block pictures...Helen, and Cathy, and Dortha!! They are so very pretty!!
Helen was randomly selected as the winner for last weeks giveaway of the applique kits, so I will be mailing it out today. Mail is sometimes hard, because of work...work gets in the way of my fun!!
Link up below! Have an amazing day!

Wouldn't those last three little baskets be wonderful center squares for some scrappy log cabin blocks? I sure think so! I love that little kit quilt too.
I don't know why my Link up has a trash can next to it--I thought i followed directions..;((
Anyway--very pretty log cabin and lovely baskets...hugs Julirose
Awesome little quilt....now I want to make one like that too!
I like the log cabin blocks forming a star.
Your organization skills are familiar--I am talking about the second photo, not the nicely put together kit. :)
I am almost finished with the half log cabin blocks I started making after my shoulder surgery. Only one more row to go.
I still love the 1800's repros too, Julie! The basket quilts are too cute.
Es muy bonito y las telas son ¡fantásticas!
You're way more organized than I am! If I'd cut out pieces ahead, they would have ended up in three different bins. As well as on the floor...
Whew! When I first saw the finished quilt I thought people were already finishing their log cab loonies. For my next version, I'm hoping to make blocks that look as nice as yours with lots of movement but maintaining the contrast.
Repros and scraps and little baskets, oh my! Are you in heaven?
I seldom cut ahead! I have adult onset ADD!
