"Charming Baby Log Cabin"

 by Threaded Pear

Size: Lap Quilt 41" x 59"

Not only CW repros with the traditional blocks,

I also love some of modern quilt's styles.

When I came back to quilting

in spring of 2009,

I jumped onto AM's line at LQS

and quickly made the above lap size quilt top.

I just love everything about her line!

It's gorgeous, cheerful and very feminine.

Anyhow, I needed some rehab to remember

how to sew after a few years of the absence,

and it was just a perfect project

with its simplicity :)

I was away from quilting for good 7-8 years

 before that time, and when I came back,

I found there are load of changes

in the quilting world, as for the techniques,

 the styles and almost everything!

And it was so exciting to see as anything

I saw and learned were fairly new to me.

I've gained so many inspirations and

temptations and ever since I've been still sewing :)

One of the great inspirations I got

at that time was from this group.

I quietly started following their blog

about the quilting bee in modern style

and enjoyed seeing the progress of

each month.

I was so fascinated with

everyone's unique style and taste

to make a quilt!

And now it has been published as a beautiful book!!

I just received my copy a couple of days ago

and love the pictures and methods

they used for each project.

Back to AM's fabrics.

I saw this block on your right in the above

- x and plus block, at Lee's place yesterday

and whipped one up right away

with the leftover fabrics from my skirt

I recently made :)

It was another fun block

using all the pretty fabrics

which have very strong personalities.

My next plan as for quilting is

to quilt that one patch log cabin quilt.

I already have a plan in my mind about

how I'd like to try quilting on that one ;)

I will shoot for doing that

probably next week or so!?

Wish me a good luck!!
