Log Cabin Love

Since I was brave enough to show you the first quilt I made (with all it's blocks lost in the whiteness of the fabrics), I decided to share the colour of my second quilt. My first quilt gave me the courage to just have at the whole quilting experience, which meant I spent some time collecting a variety of fabrics to make a colourful log cabin quilt. I had a great time putting this quilt together choosing red as the feature colour to represent the warmth of my son's personality.
If you click on the photos you will see that I discovered stipple quilting. That has become a favourite way to machine quilt for me. I love the meandering of this stitch.

The red really popped when I pulled up your blog. My first thought was that this was a valentine quilt. Very nice.

I tried to reply to your messages today but they came back to me.

Thanks for stopping at my blog. I am working up a pattern for the coasters now to be somewhat like the first one on my post.

Maybe we could join forces with the PIF thing? I got one response to mine.
