SPRING QUILTING & GARDENING

SPRING QUILTING & GARDENING

It seemed like a forever long winter here in central Indiana this past winter. Normally I like winter.

LOG CABIN IN THE FALL WOODS (another log cabin quilt)

Fall is my favorite season and the only one I really decorate for. I believe that is one reason I go to Maine every September – the colors are so brilliant – the blue sky, the leaves, the ocean water.  I thought it would be fun to make a log cabin quilt in fall colors. Here is the start of my “Log Cabin in the Fall Woods” quilt. Basic directions: I started to make a fall themed log cabin quilt…
