Finished Or Not Friday: Did You Ever Quilt a Rainbow....

Okay, the post title happened because when I started writing this post, this popped in my head:

Joining in once again over at Quilty Girl (and new Grandma) Alycia's for this week's "Finished or Not Friday" linkup!  

I present my finally finished "Rainbow Scrappy Log Cabin":

Front

Back

I say finally because this was one of the six (!) projects I started back in 2021 when I decided to finally dive into Angela's (of the So Scrappy blog) Rainbow Scrap Quilt Challenge. This pattern is the one that comes with Accuquilt's Log Cabin die although they call it the "Scrappy Star Log Cabin".  I wonder if that's because Pam Heller,  Accuquilt's Cutting Expert always cites this die as a good one to use to cut up your scraps. 

After learning about and following the RSC, I immediately envisioned using the pattern for the challenge since that would absolve me from having to choose a colorway for the quilt.  Use all the colors in the rainbow and you don't have to pick a specific color direction!

Funny thing was that of all the projects I started that year, I wound up only picking and die cutting the fabrics for this during the challenge since I realized that I wanted to have all of the fabrics gathered and complementary before starting to piece the blocks.   As a result the actual block sewing didn't start until 2022.  However as usual with a lot of projects on my plate, I only made maybe three blocks that year and then this got lost in the project shuffle.

It got revived again in 2023 when the American Quilters Society teamed up with Accuquilt and held a quilt along for this pattern.  I got the top done but then the next usual question/issue was how to quilt it and so it sat again.  In 2024 Angela Walters held another of her free motion quilting challenges called "How Do I Quilt It?"  that covered stitch patterns for Snowball, Chevron, Log Cabin and Curved blocks and Applique borders.  That year I also had a Snowball block quilt that I was looking for inspiration for the quilting.  I did get that one done but unlike another time when I got two quilts finished because of one of Angela's challenges, this time I wasn't sure any of her approaches for quilting Log Cabin blocks worked for this one.   So once again it sat! 

Then this year the guild I belong to long distance with my mother-in-law announced that their challenge project for this year would be making a log cabin quilt!  Perfect!  Ever since owning the die I've longed to make a lot of Log Cabin quilts so pulled out all the ideas that I had for them.  However, in the end since this one was already pieced and ready to go and only needed to be quilted, it became the one to get done!  Another push was having a deadline since finished quilts were to be presented at the guild's June meeting. 

My expectation was to get it quilted by the end of May so I could mail it down to North Carolina in plenty of time.  Well you know what they say about the best laid plans:  it still took me until last week to decide on what wound up being a very simple quilting plan:  evenly spaced straight lines across some of the major directions that the piecing followed.  

Even then such simple quilting, done free-motion with a ruler, took me a little longer than I expected.  Then I decided after the quilting was done to add a flange accent to the binding I had planned to do using the outer border fabric. I was able to once again use up some of the leftover Log Cabin strips that I had and sewed them together to form the accent strip to create the effect.

It's a subtle touch next to the busy border fabric but I like it!  Even better, a flange binding is my favorite kind of binding: completely applied by machine!  

I finished it up on Sunday and mailed it out on Monday.  Unfortunately I'm still on pins and needles as it was estimated to arrive to her by yesterday.  It was in NC by that time but as of today is still listed as having been transferred to the postal distribution center in the next big town.  I really hope it gets to her by tonight otherwise after all of this effort, it might still not be part of the guild presentation tomorrow!

Well at least I can say I've checked off another UFO on my master to-do list --- even if it's not the one I was supposed to be working on this month LOL!  This month the number that was pulled on this year's UFO Challenge List (I'm following The Quilted Forest's picks on YouTube) was #1 which on my list is my "Scrap Vortex" quilt. 

That's another one that's only waiting to be quilted but has stumped me up until now.  Mostly because I have some vague yet also specific ideas on what I'd like to do on it but haven't quite worked out how to make that happen.  Hopefully this finish will inspire me to get that one done too.  Not to mention I still have to finish the quilting on March's UFO pick, still layer and quilt April's and cut out the "Newfo" picked from the list for May.  Never a dull moment in my quilt world!

And it's also never a dull moment in the worlds of the quilters that gather at Alycia's each week for "Finished Or Not Friday"!  So head on over there to see what everyone has worked on this past week whether it was finished or not!

To Do Tuesday: Trying To Get Back on Track for June

Ooh, it's been a while since I connected with everyone for Carol's weekly "To Do Tuesday" over at Quilt Schmilt!  The end of April and all of May were busy and only got busier as each week progressed!  It was hard to make time to get to my stitching spots --- whether the couch for some hand work or at my sewing machine.  As a result I feel like I've neglected some of my favorite family members --- my craft projects!!

Some of the life events that got in the way of crafting during this time:  There's been a slate of community association meetings and a related conference to attend.  The community garden season started so there was spring planting,  hosting the 5th grade of the local middle school for their annual Spring visit and attending a virtual eco-gardening course I signed up for.  

Part of our plot in mid-May

Since my last post we've also been on two camping trips with my DH's co-workers: one early season one to test out some new equipment we had purchased and the other our 3rd (for us) annual Memorial Day Weekend trip.  That weekend was also my birthday weekend when I hit a milestone one: the big 6-5!

Just part of our group and a rainy weekend saved by canopies and tarps! 

  

On the crafting front, in late April after finishing the second of two Quilt of Valor tops for the guild that I belong to long distance, it was my plan to then work on quilting a Log Cabin project to submit for their June challenge or to try to work on or finish two LC projects-in-process for the same purpose.  

However that got pushed aside mostly because there have been an over abundance of new quilt project idea "squirrels" that completely overtook my attention and wallet!  I also signed up for both the Quilted Life Summit and the Machine Quilting Summit again this year.  Good thing I opted for the VIP extended access membership for both since I have yet to be able to sit down to watch the sessions!   All of these beautiful distractions and "what ifs" knocked my focus totally off.  While enjoyable and exciting they were all horrible for my productivity!!

All of the same has also been true for my cross stitch productivity as well!  Back in April I couldn't resist embarking on a new Spring themed CS freebie by Jardin Prive.  My hope was to stitch it up quick, finish it using Helen D's "floss wrapped hoop" technique and then also "fully finish" the Lizzie Kate Spring-themed design I stitched up two years ago.  The plan was to put both out on display for Spring before April ended.  

Nope, didn't happen!  This was where the "Peace 'N Love" stitch was as the life events and squirrels got in the way of stitching on it reguarly enough to get it done.  However I'm glad to say that I got in enough time during the Memorial Day camping trip and while doing laundry when we returned to finish it up!  

So now I still need to "fully finish" it as planned.  Unfortunately,  I'll need to get a bigger hoop than the one I originally planned to use to do that since I'd like more space surrounding the stitching in the finish.  

However with June now underway,  I want to focus on "patriotic season stitching and decorating".  In past years I followed the Fat Quarter Shop when they did their "Red, White & June" stitch alongs but I don't see any mention of that on their site this year.  That's probably because they are doing the Celebrating 250 Years of America Quilt Along that started back in February and runs until the same month next year. 

I already had my projects lined up for "RWJ" stitching for both cross stitch and quilting.   For the former there were soooo many great cross stitch patterns being offered to honor the country's big occasion when I looked them up at the start of the year:   

Click the picture to enlarge and excuse the few non-cross stitch images here....

I did finally settle on purchasing just one pattern to try to make:  

I liked this one because it is done in the tiered cake stand format.  It will be similar to the London themed one I made last year from Erin Elizabeth's series of patterns.

I had picked out this Susan Ache design three years ago when she released her "Summer Memories" book:

I had hoped to start both in May for "Cross Stitch Maynia" but I've already shared how May went off the rails for me.  In addtion to those two cross stitch projects,  I can also continue in the patriotic colors theme by getting back to work on my Laundry Basket Quilts "Alaska" BOM project that stalled due to all the other things that came up last month:  

I only got to three and a half of the next eight blocks I needed to get done. 

Additionally there's the possibility of (finally) FFO-ing my Primrose Cottage "United We Stand" WIP and to finish up my "Seeds of Glory" quilted pillowcover since I want to try the same edge finishing technique on both.

The good news is that despite all of those plans, goals and dreams, my actual "To Do" list this week will be super short:   

1. I need to finish quilting my "Rainbow Log Cabin" project to be presented at the June guild meeting in NC the Saturday after next!  

This is my one and only priority right now even though I hope to also still do some cross stitching in the evenings as well.  

Needless to say there's never a dull moment even if it's not always doing the crafty things I love.  So I am glad to jump back in by linking up with everyone for  "To Do Tuesday" at Carol's Quilt Schmilt blog and look forward to seeing what everyone else will be working on this week! 

P.S.  If you are a Tula Pink fan, you've got to check out reports (article here and video here) of her career retrospective that was displayed at the recent H + H industry show.  Very fun, colorful and inspiring!!

To Do Tuesday: The Start of April

Now that we are done with March,  April is really starting to feel Spring-like!  I know that because my annual "Official Spring Indicator" has appeared:  the Hosta plants on my terrace have popped up!

I expect that Spring projects will more quickly than I'd like have to make room for the ones for the "Patriotic Season" (especially this year!) and for Summer projects.  Therefore,  I am trying really hard to stay on track and get a few more things done before that happens.  So I am grateful for another opportunity to post a "To Do Tuesday" list along with everyone over at Carol's Quilt Schmilt.  

So last week what I had hoped to get started for April were:  

1.  Continue (and possibly finish?) quilting "Modern Twist".

Nope, nothing further done on that although I had a good reason.

2.  Find out what the "UFO Challenge" project pick is for April.  

When Shelley of The Quilted Forest pulled the next number,  ironically she picked the perfect one for me!  Shelley picked #11 which on my list is my "Lady Claire Box Trot" project that is an expanded version of quilt kit. 

 It just so happens that a few days before the pick, I had shared that top on Facebook because someone had posted asking about making a "scalloped border" and asked for examples of what other quilters had done.  

After sharing the technique I used in it,  I did wonder when I'd get back to work on finishing it.  What's also funny is that last month I had swapped "Modern Twist" into its original slot on the list.  So its number being picked this time around is a case of perfect timing for me!

3.  Do the cutting for the "Picture That" QOV top and maybe start piecing it togther. 

Done and done and this is why I didn't do any more quilting on "Modern Twist"!  

After getting the cutting done, I've put together the top and only have the last two borders (the blue mottle and the paisley) left to do.  Then this will be ready for mailing back to my MIL in North Carolina (along with the top finished last month) to submit to the guild for quilting.  I've also ordered more of the red fabric used in it for the binding.  

I also stitched up four blocks for the Quilt of Valor Foundation's Annual Block Drive as leader/enders.  

In the blocks on the left, both centers and the white and red fabrics in the bottom block came from leftovers of the previous QOV top I finished.  The rest of the fabrics came from my RWB stash.    

4.  Finish stitching the fourth (and last) "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

Also done!  And now all four of the blocks I have made for this are complete.  

Now it's time to think about how I want to finish the wallhanging I had designed these for.  I've been looking at the applique done on the borders of the original pattern....

I do have the Accuquilt die for those motifs so now am debating if  I'm willing to go "all the way" with this, LOL!!  If so and knowing me, that might mean this could take until next Spring to be completed.

5.  Cut the pieces for the next set of the "Alaska" BOM blocks and make the first two.

Well, I did get the cutting done....

...so I'll start the block making this week and should still be able to get the eight blocks completed by the end of the month.   

6.  Layer RSC "Rainbow Log Cabin" and (possibly) start quilting it.

At the top in the picture.

Nope with all the work on the QOV I still didn't get to sit down and finish deciding on the stitching pattern.

7.  Start making the alternate blocks for the RSC "Rainbow Log Cabin Hearts" layout.  

The "Heart" blocks are also pictured in the bottom of the photo above and "nope" to work done on this project too!

So moving forward for the month this week, I will be:

1.  Still hoping I can continue and finish quilting "Modern Twist".

2.  Layer "Lady Claire Boxtrot" so I can start quilting on it later this month.  

3.  Add the final borders on the "Picture That" QOV top and get it ready for mailing. 

4.  Think about how I would want to finish the "Hexie Snowflake" wallhanging and decide if it can get done this year.  

5.  Piece two of the "Alaska" BOM blocks.  

6.  Make the final stitching decision for the "Rainbow Log Cabin" and layer it.

7.  Start making the alternate blocks for the RSC "Rainbow Log Cabin Hearts" layout.  

Still another long list this week and that usually doesn't bode well for getting to everything.  But I know where the danger zones are and am perfectly willing to let some things slide if it means completing others. 

I see that Carol at Quilt Schmilt did get a "To Do Tuesday" link up posted last week so need to try to go to the blogs she noted along with checking out the ones for this week.  Also looking forward to seeing more of my Hostas and to start setting up the rest of my terrace plantings too!

To Do Tuesday: The End of March and Plans for April

 Ahhh, so another month ends!  How fitting that it aligns with the weekly check in for "To Do Tuesday" that is usually hosted by Carol over at Quilt Schmilt.  

However as of the time I'm posting this, Carol hasn't posted the link-up for this week (I hope everything is okay).  So if she sets one up in the next day or two, I'll update this with the link to it.   

So last week the plans for finishing up the month were:  

1.  Go back to "Modern Twist" and try to complete it for this month's UFO Challenge finish. 

I am still working on it.  I've only been able to sit down and stitch on it a little at a time as I'm still feeling my way on quilting it.  So at best I can call it "moved forward" for March.  

Even as I am looking forward to seeing what "UFO Challenge" number The Quilted Forest pulls for April,  I also want to continue working on this and try to finish it by the end of that month. 

2.  (Finally) work on the "Picture That" QOV top. 

Okay, finally made the final fabric choices so I can start cutting and piecing it.  I expect this one to be a quickie to stitch up!

3.  Start stitching the fourth (and last) "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

Yes, it has been started and is about half way done.  Should be completed by the weekend.

4.  "Fully finish" the "Year of the Horse" cross stitch.

Done!  Detail on that in this post.

Also Accomplished as March Finished Up:  

Having been able to finish the March blocks for my "Alaska" BOM a week early, I figured I'd put the blocks I've made to date up on the design wall just to take in how far I've gotten with this project.

Pretty good!  Although when I went to take the blocks down, I realized I had placed some of the blocks flanking the outer most center blocks incorrectly.  The blocks in those positions are pieced in mirror image and I clearly had put some of them in the wrong spots.  I made a note of that for when I lay these out again.

I have two more blocks to make to fill the center and in both cases I'll need eight of them.  So in April I'll tackle one of them knowing I need to make two blocks a week this time around.

Since I also have plans to make an enlarged version of the basic deisgn, I'll also be adding an additional  border of blocks.  Those blocks just so happen to have the same piecing as the other block I need for the center, just colored slightly differently.  So when I make those (in May), I'll make both sets of blocks in tandem.  I won't get them all done in a month --- I will just continue to work on them consistently until I have all that I need.  

Ooh, since the block making and constructing the final top is likely to go into June, this will be a perfect project to put on my list for the Fat Quarter Shop's annual "Red, White & June" event that month!   

Other Plans For April:

I'm trying to meet a deadline of making a Log Cabin quilt by May so I can send it down to my MIL to present at the June meeting of "our" guild.  Originally my plan had been to make two new designs that I've long wanted to make.  However with so many other projects in progress,  I've accepted that it just isn't going to be possible to get them done in time.  

I did start the "Sparkle & Shine" project that has only nine giant blocks and will continue to work on that in April and am hoping to get it done.  However, the other week I realized that I already have two Log Cabin WIPs, both of which started as "Rainbow Scrap Challenge" projects and one of which just needs to be quilted.  

So I decided it would make way more sense to try to get them finished up for the challenge.  The hold-up on the finished top is that up to now,  I couldn't decide how to quilt it.  So I need to sit with it a bit more over the next few days and try to come up with a plan for that.  

I also need to work on an idea I have for the layout of the other blocks which as of right now involves making additional alternate blocks for it.  If I can get that done, then I can determine if it'll also be possible to get it quilted in time as well.

So plans for this week are:

1.  Continue (and possibly finish?) quilting "Modern Twist".

2.  Find out what the "UFO Challenge" project pick is for April.  

3.  Do the cutting for the "Picture That" QOV top and maybe start piecing it togther. 

4.  Finish stitching the fourth (and last) "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

5.  Cut the pieces for the next set of the "Alaska" BOM blocks and make the first two.

6.  Layer RSC "Rainbow Log Cabin" and (possibly) start quilting it.

7.  Start making the alternate blocks for the RSC "Rainbow Log Cabin Hearts" layout.  

Hope I don't shoot myself in the foot with such a long list to start off the month!  I'm hoping Carol at Quilt Schmilt is able to get the "To Do Tuesday" link up set up.  If she does, then I can go see what other quilters have finished for March and have lined up for the start of April.  I'm guessing there should be a lot of pretty Spring projects starting to bloom in quilt studios around the world!

To Do Tuesday: Catching Up Before the Month Ends

I had started writing a post last week, got it almost completed then got the "hanging circle of death" when Blogger wouldn't save my edits.  As the day came to a close I shut it down hoping that at least some of what I had recorded were kept but nope!  

So this week you'll see what projects moved forward over the last two weeks as I link up with this week's "To Do Tuesday" being hosted by Carol at Quilt Schmilt.  

Here was my list from two weeks ago:

1.  Continue quilting "Modern Twist" as this month's UFO Challenge finish.  

Two weeks ago I did finally sit down and start a little more of the quilting.

The vertical strip was the first pass but after stitching another section just like it,  I felt it wasn't exactly the look I wanted.  I tried again in the horizontal strip on the left.  Okay, done a little looser, it was closer to how I wanted it to look.  

However,  since I was still a little unsure about my approach to this I admit I let it sit last week in favor of focusing on the other projects on the list instead.

2.  Piece another "Alaska" BOM block.  

I had gotten one done the first week so then had two blocks.   Last week I decided that since the month was fast coming to a close,  I sewed up the last two that I needed to complete for this month.

3.  Finish piecing the center of  the "Freedom Stars" QOV top and possibly add the borders to complete it as well.

I did get the center all together (leader/endered with the "Alaska" blocks)....

....and in the week that just passed have also put on the borders so can now call the top done! 

It will sit awhile as I work on the other projects that I hope to send down to North Carolina with it in May. 

4.  If  the "Freedom Stars" top has been finished, re-start the layout of the "Picture That" QOV top with the new fabrics for it that I picked up in NC.

I still haven't gotten to this one since "Stars" was still in progress these past two weeks.  

5.  Do the finishing work on the completed "Year of the Horse" cross stitch.  

Two weeks ago,  I had started setting it up having decided to only use one fabric in the finishing and frame it by reverse appliqueing the fabric around it.  Here it was pinned:  

 Ready to stitch it,  I then decided it needed "a little something more".  I settled on adding beads around the frame which is now finished.  

6.  Finish stitching the second "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

Yes!  After that last post, I was thrilled to get Block #2 done and Block #3 started. 

As of today, #3 is almost done!

I should be able to complete the last of it while watching the news shows tonight.

7.  Continue making blocks for the "Sparkle & Shine" Log Cabin project as leader/ender piecing.

I've managed to keep up on these blocks by also using them  as "leader/enders" and now have four done.  

For this project that means I have five more to make.  Although I was hoping to continue these as I work on piecing other projects, that may not happen for the rest of this week.  

There's been a lot of new "squirrels" coming into my space so there are test blocks I'd like to make up.  Also I got word recently that our community garden will be opening up for the season in mid April.  So this one may have to sit for a while until I clear some project space.   

So my plans for this week are to:

1.  Go back to "Modern Twist" and try to complete it for this month's UFO Challenge finish.  

2.  (Finally) work on the "Picture That" QOV top. 

3.  Start stitching the fourth (and last) "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

4.  "Fully finish" the "Year of the Horse" cross stitch.

With such a short list, I should be able to finish up March with a bang!  This should also give me plenty of time to check out everyone else that has linked up for "To Do Tuesday" this week at Carol's "Quilt Schmilt".  

To Do Tuesday: Happy National Quilting Month!

There is something special brewing for this Merry Month of March!  It is National Quilt Month and on Saturday the 21st it will be National Quilting Day!  

To start the month's festivities off,  you should check out this Instagram post for an opportunity to get a free Missouri Star Quilt Co. pattern:

Next are some suggestions from the Quilt Alliance for how to plan to spend National Quilting Day:

Click the picture or the link to see the suggestions.

May I also recommend an excellent and very special podcast that my non-quilter son passed along to me:  Quilters Joe Cunningham and Luke Haynes and museum curator and textile conservator Olivia Joseph were interviewed about the "History of Quilting" on Allie Ward's "Ologies" podcast.  

Their discussions cover the various fabric, quilt and creative piecing styles used in quilting that have developed over the centuries.  They also discuss quilting's ever evolving position in the craft and art worlds.  My family is good about keeping their eyes and ears open to things related to this craft that I love so much!!

Before I can focus on all the craft month celebrations (well, I have already listened to the podcast),  I need to get back to the work at hand!  As always,  I am happy to join in with everyone linking up for "To Do Tuesday" hosted by Carol over at "Quilt Schmilt" and talk about the doings from the past week and what's on my agenda for the current one.  

The list of things on my last "To Do Tuesday" report was as follows:

1.  Trim and bind the UFO I longarmed while I was away.  

Done!  As usual I had hoped to get it done sooner but finished is better than timely! 

I still have to clip any visible basting stitches, trim some threads and bury their knots and apply the label I made for it.  Then the "Finished Or Not Friday" post that should have gone up last week can go up at the end of this one!

2.  Continue quilting "Modern Twist" as this month's UFO Challenge finish.  

Nope, didn't get to it since "Pulpit Tile" took longer to finish than expected.  But now that the other one is almost done,  I can go back to work on this at some point later this week.  

3.  Cut out the next set of "Alaska" BOM blocks and get at least one pieced together.  

Also done!  And the good news is that all the piecing in the block gave me the opportunity to do some leader/ender sewing with two other projects as well.

4.  Finish piecing the "Freedom Stars" QOV top.

Not totally done but definitely moved a little further along.  I've now got eight rows of the center pieced so only four more rows to go and then I can sew the whole center together.  This was one of the projects I used to leader/ender with the "Alaska" block and push the pieces for that project out from under the needle.  

I think that going forward this week, I want to try to do some 30 minute daily sewing sessions during which I can get another "Alaska" block done and hopefully the rest of the center rows for this completed as well.

5.  Continue working on the layout of the "Picture That" QOV top with the new fabrics for it that I picked up in NC.

Nope and until "Freedom Stars" gets done, this one will have to wait to get up on the design wall.

6.  Do the finishing work on the completed "Year of the Horse" cross stitch.  

Nope, didn't get to this one.  I did make the final decision on which of the fabrics I had put with it that I will use for the finishing step.  The floral will surround the piece in the front and the other print will go on the back.  I am thinking that I would also like to find some trim to add around the edges of it as well.  Sigh, another time when the loss of Joann's hits hard!  

I'm hoping I can get a chance to go to my local Michael's and see if they carry trim.  It's not something I ever shopped for there in the past so I don't know what they might have or if they even carry that kind of item.  

7.  Stitch the second "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.

  I did start working on it but so far only have the center flower circle and three of those inner mushroom shaped areas on the left stitched down.  It will continue to be my nightly "news show" stitching for the rest of the week.

8.  Try to squeeze in some work on the "Charming Sweatshirt" I got started while away.  

Nope, didn't get to this and I don't think I will this week either.  This is going to be a project in "time out" for a while until I can get some of the other things done.

9.  Work on two other projects I cut out while away. 

The first of those projects were the Bowl Cozies I had die cut.  They are all now finished and the details will also be in this week's FONF report.

The second is the "Sparkle and Shine Log Cabin project I had rotary cut the parts for.  

This was the other leader/ender I used as I worked on the "Alaska" block and "Freedom Stars" QOV top.  This is a really big block once it's done!  

Even though it was simple sewing (just straight seams), with all the rounds to be stitched I was only able to get one block completed.  However, this too will go into the rotation for the "30 minutes a day" sewing.  With only nine of them to make,  I figure I can get them finished by month's end.  

So my plans for this week are to:

1.  Continue quilting "Modern Twist" as this month's UFO Challenge finish.  

2.  Piece another "Alaska" BOM block.  

3.  Finish piecing the center of  the "Freedom Stars" QOV top and possibly add the borders to complete it as well.

4.  If  the "Freedom Stars" top has been finished, re-start the layout of the "Picture That" QOV top with the new fabrics for it that I picked up in NC.

5.  Do the finishing work on the completed "Year of the Horse" cross stitch.  

6.  Finish stitching the second "Hexie Snowflake" block to its background.  

7.  Continue making blocks for the "Sparkle & Shine" Log Cabin project as leader/ender piecing.

I look forward to seeing what quilting projects everyone is celebrating in our special month when they link up for "To Do Tuesday" this week at Carol's "Quilt Schmilt".  Happy Quilting!
