This is the quilt I gave my grandma for her 90th birthday.  I wanted to do a Log Cabin block and I thought the asymmetrical diagonal pattern would give it a kind of modern twist. I found the Log Cabin blocks really fun to do. Maybe it was because I used mostly a set of 2.5" wide strips that were precut (thanks to my mother-in-law), which made it a lot quicker. Woohoo!

 Here's a close up of some of the quilting. I followed the overall diagonals and did random spacing of quilting lines. Below is the back, which my grandma really liked. She hadn't seen a quilt with a design on the back. Now I wish I had a picture of her with the quilt. Well instead, I will just post a picture from her birthday!

 At last! The quilt I made for my mom for her birthday. It was based on the color scheme I saw in a Kaffe Fassett quilt in a book from the library. I spent a LONG time figuring out the design and arranging the blocks, and I do like the result.  I like the black fabric around the edge, I think it really makes everything else stand out. Here is the back:

The part that looks white is actually light green...I guess my camera didn't pick that up very well. I am now just glad that the quilt is safe in the hands of my mother....there was a horrible Fedex ordeal involved.
