It is finally finished!
I honestly couldn’t remember how long ago I’d started this quilt. I knew it was at least 2 years ago and just discovered I started it in January 2015.
So…Through Thick and Thin, my king size, scrappy, mostly batik, log cabin quilt, made with 2.5″ and 1.25″ logs, was only 3 years in the making!
I stopped at forty-two, 15″ blocks even though I knew it wasn’t going to be big enough for my bed. I didn’t want wide borders all around, so I decided sashing was the way to go…even though I’d personally never seen it done on a log cabin quilt. And even w/the sashing, I still needed borders! I added 6″ side borders and 2″ top/bottom borders.
I quilted it w/this modern panto that brings to mind a fence of “Asian” influence. My friend GayLee thinks it resembles a tree. Regardless, it’s perfect for my quilt.
The layout is an offset barn raising and the quilt is longer than it is wide. But when I put it on the bed, I liked the fit better turned the other way. So now, what were supposed to be wider side borders, are now top/bottom borders.
I am totally in love w/it and can’t stop taking pictures. The fur babies love it too!
Have a fantastic weekend y’all!

Confidence comes from GRACE…daring to believe that in spite of, not only the obstacles we face daily, but our own unworthiness, God has made us His promises!
It’s beautiful! Congratulations on your finish. Hugs,
It’s a beautiful quilt. Love the colors.
Oh, such a beautiful quilt! Your furbabies seem to approve. I had to smile, because I have a similar wall hanging like the one above the bed, but mine hangs the other way up. What a beautiful room!
It is beautiful!! I love the colors and the sashing-makes it almost like leaded glass! A UFO no longer! Way to start the year!
