Heart of the Home quilt

 I've posted about this quilt a few times, you can see the first post here.

Sherri and Chelsi have done such a fantastic job designing this quilt. I pulled fabric from my stash, but I did have to buy fabric for the border and binding.  I chose colors that are similar to the quilt on the cover.

Here is the quilt just before sunset with a slight golden hue.

This is the first log cabin quilt that I've made.

Can you see the beautiful long arm quilting design? My friend Marti from Lynny Lou Crafts in Gilbert has great taste choosing pantographs

I used this fabric for the back of the quilt. I thought the colors and flower print matched very well.

These photos are better at showing the quilt's true colors.

Thanks for sharing my love of quilting, see you next week!

Heart of the Home quilt along, finished!

 I finished my quilt top! It was a very windy evening, I did the best I could with the photos :)

I love the colors that I chose, and all of the low volumes.

I'm very happy that I was able to use my fabric stash to make this quilt. I took these photos outside after the sun had gone down, but the colors aren't true.  I have a lot of orange in the blocks but it doesn't really show.

I've made log cabin blocks before, but never in a whole quilt like this.  I like the effect it has, of color and low volume. I chose a low volume print for the border too.

Everyone always asks me what I'm going to do with my quilt when it's complete.  I have no idea!  Maybe I'll have another giveaway with the grandchildren. A lot of love and money goes into making these quilts.

Thanks for following, I'll see you next week :)

 This quilt pattern is in the February issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. It's also available for purchase at Sherri McConnell's shop on Etsy. A quilting Life.

I found some extra time, so was able to jump ahead of the quilt along.

I've finished all of my log cabin blocks! yay!!!

Sometimes you love a quilt so much that you can hardly wait to see it finished! Now I have to cut all the sashing and the inner border. I had forgotten that there was sashing between the blocks, so a little more work ahead before I sew them all together.

I'll show you my progress soon ❤️

 

I'm really enjoying this quilt along.  The speed or lack of is very doable.

We are in week 4, and I completed my houses. One of my favorite parts of quilt making is choosing the fabric colors and prints.

Hey are all my little houses, the heart of the home.

Below are all the center blocks for the log cabins, the stars, the hearts and the houses.

Tune in next week and I'll have some of the log cabin blocks made!
