Mystery quilt progress



I received this quilt back from the long armer. She did an all-over small stipple, which is just what I would have done.  Hurrah!!



The pieces in this quilt are 1/2 an inch finished.  Whew!  That is a lot of pieces!  It is a very heavy quilt.





Just some trimmings...

 And here is a terrible picture of my progress on the mystery quilt, from Quilt Ville.  I am all caught up...wow!  amazing...I usually drag behind, LOL!  There is this little thing called work that interferes with what I am quilting on!






Merry Christmas Eve!  I am headed off to work...the hospital does not stop for holidays!

Thank you so much for your wonderful work at the hospital....unfortunately disease doesn't stop as you say...
Your quilt is just beautiful...I find that log cabin quilts turn out very heavy--maybe it's all those seams? I don't know...
I hope your Christmas is a Merry and Bright one hugs, Julierose

I like to sleep under heavy quilts, there is one one my Ed right now (a variation of Railroad Crossing). A heavy quilt is like a weighted blanket, I think. Have a MerryChristmas, Julie.

Beautiful work, Julie! A lovely log cabin for Christmas :-)
I'm eager to see the mystery unfold. Merry Christmas!

Bravo! Another quilt finished before the year ends. Those are tiny pieces of fabric but what a great scrap buster! Merry Xmas

The log cabin quilt is stunning! Heavy quilts are comforting to sleep under.

Lori said...

WOW! I love your log cabin quilt! An allover quilt pattern is perfect for it!

Merry Christmas lovely lady!

Congratulations on the finish! Well done. I'm just finishing up my hourglass blocks for the mystery quilt so I should be ready for the next clue on Monday.

Merry Christmas! Beautiful log cabin quilt!

Merry Christmas and blessings for all the health care workers who could really use a break. Hospitals here in western NY are at capacity and nursing homes aren't taking new patients, so the surge is putting a lot of stress on the health care system. Your log cabin quilt should be very warm.

Heavy quilts are my favorite!! This one is quite a beauty.

I hope you had some time off for family, but I know health issues don't stop for holidays, or for anything else! Your log cabin is beautiful!

I made a log cabin once with tiny logs. I do love the quilt but it's an odd size so it doesn't get used. I hope I never get a whim to do it again! Yours is spectacular!

A number of years ago, right after Christmas I started a log cabin quilt, made with 1 1/2" strips of my 1800's fabrics. I have trouble with my seam allowances so it has been in time out for a while. Yours is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Your log cabin quilt is beautiful! Thank you for hanging in there at work. The amount of work sure isn't letting up is it?

I was tempted by Puffins...a squirrelly breed!!  LOL!  This fabric was shared with me, and I have been loved these bright, candy corn colors...
