Here is the above mentioned, latest finished quilt. It is a 4' x 5' Wall Hanging. The genesis of this quilt started when I bought a Layer Cake pkg of reproduction fabrics from Moda, for cheap. This pkg sat around for a couple of months until I could figure out what to do with the 10" x 10" squares. I had an inspiration to cut the squares into strips and make a log cabin pattern group of squares of randomly placed pieces, and then frame them with some more period pattern sashing. I let the number of squares dictate the size of the quilt and what I came up with was 4' x 5'. I think this quilt is one that gave me the most satisfaction upon completion, and I am going to hang it prominently in our hall stairway, so that I can see it every time I go up or down the stairs. (my wife's idea, and a good one). I am going to delve deeper into the period fabric pool and see what comes of it. This one, I think, was a winner.
