log cabin baby quilt

I was itching to make another quilt.  One without much of a plan.

I love log cabins, I think I could make a million more with all my scraps.

Anyway, I had my little stash of these super cute Sevenberry fabrics (purchased from a local shop that has since gone out of business, wah!) I'd been saving for too long.  They're just so perfect, calling out for a special baby quilt.

Luckily, our good friends had their 4th baby recently (a girl).  For me, that deserves a special prize in and of itself.  Don't you think?

This isn't my usual color palette, not that I know if I really have one, but it's different from a lot of other things I've made.  {Now I'm looking at my pictures and see where the colors came from - my backyard, tan and white and brown - wintery.} So I got a few fat quarters from my local shop, Basic Grey's Basics by Moda and a few others.

With the quilting I went for some organic lines and I love the texture it creates.

There's another component to this gift I just finished up, but that'll have to wait for another post.

Quilt measures 36" by 40".
