Log Cabin Sofa Quilt<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve been cutting and stitching like crazy in hopes of finishing a sofa quilt for Christmas gifting.\u00a0 It certainly would have been a wiser decision had it been made earlier in the year but the idea came to me in November.<\/p>\n

It’s been a perfect project for the bitter cold, icy days we’ve been experiencing.\u00a0 I’ve enjoyed digging through my ever-growing stash for light and dark fabrics.\u00a0 The only tedious part was cutting hundreds of strips to finish at 3\/4″.\u00a0 Thankfully, all materials and supplies needed to make this quilt was on hand so I wasn’t required to venture out in nasty weather.<\/p>\n

It was hand quilted in a hoop while I watched movies on my computer.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the hoop broke as I was finishing the last block.\u00a0 I order new hoops and worked at quilting the sawtooth border without one.\u00a0 Because of the weather delays for shipping, the new hoops didn’t arrive until the quilt was already finished.<\/p>\n

Oh well!\u00a0 Now I’ll just have to plan another hoop-quilted project.\u00a0 A friend of my son is soon to welcome a new baby.\u00a0 Sounds like a good excuse to make another quilt.<\/p>\n

I’ve had my eye on a free pattern featured on\u00a0Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville<\/a> blog.\u00a0 I want to make Patches and Pinwheels and think it will be a precious baby boy’s quilt.<\/p>\n

I want to wish everyone a fabulous, fun-filled Christmas and a joyous and blessed New Year!<\/p>\n
