For those of you who remember me asking about thick batting some time ago, and remember what I wanted it for, you may be interested in seeing what I did with it!
I made a log cabin quilt for my king size bed using the quilt as you go technique. And placed the blocks in a mountain pattern. Judge for yourself!
I have also made a test version of a lone star pattern using the quiltsmart technique.
Don't know if this one will ever get quilted, but like the technique.
Love the log cabin quilt as well as the lone star.
Lovely Claudia, just lovely!
They're both lovely, Claudia.
I really like the log cabin arrangement - very pretty. . In message , claudia writes
Love the log cabin, very pretty. The LS is terrific too - I wonder what the 'quiltsmart' technique is? Aren't we all smart??
Cheers Bronnie
The log cabin looks so elegant. Very nice. Gen

Thanks Jeanne, thata's a very neat application for LS. Might try it one day. Cheers Bronnie
Well done! That LC looks great on the bed, pretty colors. I'd love to see your Lone Star quilted! Roberta in D

Me too. Log Cabin 2 is lovely. I would never have thought about that "same colour" co-ordination. I've added it to my favourites. Once the "I Don't Like It" quilt is quilted and done I might just think about putting one like yours together for my bed. Thanks for the inspiration

Very pretty--both the Log Cabin and the Lone Star!!
Ooh, I like that idea, Jeanne. Hmmm. If I ever develop the skills, I may have to make this one myself.
Yes Jeanne, had a good look around the site and checked out books online which give the pattern instructions and the printed interfacing for about $34 which sounds reasonable. Never wanted to make a LS with the traditional method, but this quite interests me. My quilty neighbour made the traditional one, and a tiny error in the template size magnified the mistake to totally ruin the finished star...it was so sad, she had pieced it all by hand. Cheers Bronnie
Hmmm Jeanne, I don't know what the 3D method is. Although I've made a couple of applecore tablerunners and do enjoy the pattern. I hand-pieced them.
