Hi Amanda,

Wow, so pretty! All of the colors are so happy!

Lucy | Charm About You said...

It's beautiful Amanda Jean! I love the soft neutrals with all those bright colours. Log Cabin quilts are such a classic and it's so fun you can do so much with one block!

Leanne Parsons said...

Love your log cabin! It's bright and cheery and a great scrap buster (what else would we expect?). :)

Anonymous said...

This looks amazing and I love it. Yay you!

Kathleen said...

That’s one beautiful log cabin! How do you figure out the yards of fabric - just curious?

Sherrill said...

That is GORGEOUS!! I did one years ago with tiny little blocks and ONE DANG BLOCK didn't fit and I tried twice to fix it and it's still laying around. :-( It'll probably never get done (so annoying)

Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl said...

That is a very serious accomplishment; congratulations!!

Michelle @ From Bolt to Beauty said...

Yahoo! Celebrating this awesome finish with you!

Southern Gal said...

That is just amazing!

My blog is private now, but by next week I hope to have two finishes. One is a quilt for my son I started three years ago! The other one is a Swoon quilt for my granddaughters that I started last year. I am so excited to be down to the binding part using your tutorial, of course. ;)

Unknown said...

That quilt is a knock out! Gorgeous!

Unknown said...

Spectacular! Really swell! Seeing your quilts always brings me joy. Can't wait to see it again after it's quilted and bound.

Angie in SoCal said...

A magnificent quilt.

ruthmary said...

Love the red 'fire in the hearth' center of each of the blocks, and the use of a mix of light fabrics instead of a constant muslin. Super job, and, yes, it is a happy quilt.

Mystic Quilter said...

Stunning quilt, and how good it looks with the snow.

KaHolly said...

It’s beautiful!

Sandy Panagos said...

You surely did build a log cabin and even included snow. Lovely!

pennylanequilts said...

Wow! You really powered through this one! It is delightful.❤️

Mom of Three Quilter said...

Love, love, love this log cabin! I really like quilts with lots of color vs. lots of white AND logs cabins are a favorite of mine! I am officially inspired!! Thank you for sharing!!

alison@the chainpiecer said...

Really lovely quilt top - what a satisfying finish! And a gorgeous photo, with the snow setting off your trademark clear colours.

Little Penpen said...

What a beautiful log cabin quilt. The colors are beautiful. I love your Friday link up posts.... it's like a two day quilt show for me. I go through half of them one day, then half the next. I rarely comment, but I do see some beautiful things!

Charlotta said...

It’s beautiful!

Aileen said...

Shot! I missed the link up!

Beautiful! I have a red and white log cabin on the longarm right now. First one I've made in years, but it was a lot of fun!

Debi said...

Absolutely beautiful! I've always love the log cabin design & this is so cheery & bright!
