I have been busy, busy, busy the last few weeks, working hard at the quilting machine!
There are two new customer quilts that I finished and want to show to everyone. The piecing was great on both quilts and I had a ton of fun quilting them.
There are many quilting “things” that I do. One of them is being a contributor to the “Fresh Ideas” column in the On Track magazine. OnTrack magazine is produced by the International Machine Quilting Association (IMQA). In this column, a drawing of a pieced quilt top is sent to me and two other contributors, who then “quilt” it as if it were our own, or a customer’s quilt. In the last issue, the quilt top pattern that was sent was a Log Cabin quilt. One of the quilting options I submitted was the design below.
I know that his may look like a very un-assuming design, but, when it is quilted it is spectacular!
Then, a few weeks later Shari R, brought a beautiful, King Size, 106 x 106 inch Log Cabin quilt to be quilted. I KNEW exactly what to quilt on it! The same design as above! And here are the results – Click on any photo for a larger view.
This is four Log Cabin blocks with the light part of the cabin in the middle. I used Signature 100% cotton, Camel in the light areas and Walnut in the dark areas. The batting is Soft & Bright by Warm Company.
This is an (almost) full view of the quilt. There are 9 “medallions”, made from four Log Cabin blocks. The quilt is too big for my clothsline, so I folded 1/3 of the quilt to the back. I love the fabric that were used in this quilt!
Here is a photo of the medallion and the border and corner. The border was made using the Longarm University, Triple Cable Template set and the corner was made using the Longarm U, 6 inch Circle Feather Guide. I LOVE the way the cable and feather border, and so did my customer!
A few weeks later, Cynthia H. brought a quilt that was made using a Fat Quarter collection. (I don’t know if there is a specific name to this quilt.) I quilted Free Hand Feathers & Swirls as an all over, edge to edge pattern. I love the texture that this quilting design makes. Click on any photo for a larger view.
This quilt measures 58 x 70 inches. This photo is not the best. I took the photo early in the morning and there is too much sunshine. (Is it possible that there is TOO much sunshine in Seattle!)
Here is a close up of the piecing and quilting on this quilt. I used Signature 100% cotton thread, Praline Pink and the batting is Warm & Natural.
Here is a closer look at the quilting. I love the texture and the swirls give a lot of “movement” to the quilting.
I had a lot of fun quilting both of these quilts and both of my customers LOVED the finished quilts! And through all of this, there was a lot of sunshine in Seattle!!
stunning! You work is amazing.

Thank you so much for sharing this latest design. I am using half of the log cabin design – the squilly lines part- on a quilt that I am working on now. You’re right, it does look great. I am so pleased with this design. Thanks again.

Your log cabin quilting is phenomenal. I bet it would look great in a barn-raising log cabin as well. I have bookmarked your site because I will be quilting a log cabin later this year and am so inspired by your work! I found you via a Pinterest board.

Beautiful! What are your thoughts on doing this with a home quilting machine? Doing it on a 9 in. block with 1 inch strips? [I am a beginner .}

As always, your work is wonderful! The Log Cabin is stunning! You have inspired me so much over the years and given me the “courage” to just Practice, Practice, Practice and become the quilter I am today and getting better!
I always looked forward to the quilting design ideas you did in On Track Mag.
Thanks, Cindy, for all the encouragement you’ve provided over the years.
