I finished the Log Cabin top just now. I am thrilled with how it came out with the piano key border. It finished up to be 96 x 71 which a bit bigger than I thought it would but it will make a great top for any size bed or even over the back of a couch. I really thought it would scream "Christmas" once it was done but I'm surprised that it just has a nice warm feel to it without a holiday feel. I'm going to back it with a red on red print but have to wait till the end of the month to send it to the longarmer since she's got a wedding coming up next weekend.
So, not that I normally keep track of this kind of stuff but to assemble this top I cut up 30 fat quarters and a yard of the cream on cream first border. I have a small pile of the piano keys left over for another project some day.

I LOVE how this quilt looks!!!
Wow, Peggy! I love this! I looks so cozy! I think log cabin blocks are so much fun. There are so many different settings for them.
The log cabin quilt is wonderful, but you missed a really good football game and some not so good commercials. You probably have heard nothing but football and commercials all day-----your quilt will be around long after the memory of SuperBowl 44. Betty Lou
have I ever mentioned that log cabin is one of my top 19 fave quilt blocks? Love how this turned out!
lovely quilt. i love that color combination and don't find it holiday-ish at all (except maybe during the holidays).
Just beautiful Peg!! Great job! You are kickin' the rest of our butts in the "finish it up" catagory! LOL
