Sew days at the cabin

Middle child and I went to the cabin this past week to do some sewing. It's always fun to have a gorgeous lake to look at while you sit at your sewing machine and sew! We took our "Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin Quilt" project with us to work on.

Here was where we started on Thursday:
 

It was fun to see each star progress.
 

Love Middle Child's color selections, especially the coral...it just pops the whole quilt.
 
Here she is all tuckered out......we had to go to the lake after naptime so we could relax some more! :)
 

By Saturday afternoon, I was able to get almost the whole quilt finished. Need to add my strips on each side so it will be square and then it will be ready to take to the quilter. Was a fun quilt to make. The book says you can't only make just one. They may be right!

Jana, I love your quilts! Fabulous colors and design.
How fun to have a daughter who will go with you to the cabin and spend time sewing.

Looks like a great time. It's always the best when you have a finish. I love that pattern.
