Wedding Log Cabin

This is the pinning process of quilting a quilt.  It took almost 2,000 pins and nearly a day to get this king sized quilt  pinned.  It was a wedding present for a dear friend.  I used 5 jelly rolls (pre cut fabric) and because the strips are 2.5" wide, the piecing went quite quickly.

This is the quilting process.  One block at a time and eventually it is done.  On a log cabin quilt, I stitch all the horizontal and vertical rows to "stabilize" the quilt and then go back and quilt each individual block.  I also quilt the outside blocks first.  That isn't necessarily the correct way, but is the way I do it.  When the outside is done, the quilting is almost half finished.  I love to then, put the binding on.  That makes no raw edges and when the quilting is all done, the quilt is complete.

This is the last block to be quilted.

Here it is!  All done and really big!

Given to Carrie at her bridal shower.  Congratulations!!
