Yesterday I started to work on the fabrics that my son brought me, shown in
my last post.
I am making this quilt for my sister's 60th birthday. As she will use it in her house near the sea, I chose various tunes of blue and beige recalling the beach, and I named it Sea and Sand.
I will need 64 blocks, and so far I finished 16.
The final size of this lap quilt will be 66" x 66".
For the beginners who may be interested, I had posted the step by step Log Cabin tutorial
HERE.
That looks beautiful, Christine! I am sure your sister will love it.
ReplyDeleteHow nice from your son to bring you the fabrics.
Since our recent trip to Danmark I also dream about quilts in the shades of the sea, beach and sunset. If only there would be more time... ;-)

ReplyDeleteWaouh! Je ne peux pas croire que tu aies déjà fait tout ça! C'est une véritable merveille! Quant aux couleurs, tu pouvais difficilement faire mieux, c'est exactement les tons du salon de Saint-Tropez.
ReplyDeleteDu coup j'ai tellement hâte qu'il trône sur mon canapé!
Un immense bravo à toi et un très grand merci à Bob pour t'avoir si gentiment rapporté tous ces magnifiques tissus!
You are welcome Dom!

ReplyDeleteThis is looking awesome! Those strips in the log cabins must be really narrow.
ReplyDeleteWonderful color choices! I am sure you sister will absolutely love this quilt! It looks like you had a fabulous vacation by the sea. How very nice of you son to bring you fabric.

DeleteThanks a lot Maartje, I try to progress the quickest possible to offer it next october!
This is so pretty and calming! I love all the blue and the contract is dramatic and makes such a huge impact. Are you tired of working with all blue?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, calm colours in your log cabins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The quilt looks like frothy waves to me. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteJe découvre votre blog grâce à Katell. J'aime beaucoup le fait que vous ayez introduit du bleu pâle dans le beige. Ca casse ce côté trop régulier que peut avoir parfois le log cabin. J'aime beaucoup votre blog! Belle semaine à vous
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire. Bonne semaine a vous egalement!
