My Friend Jenny's Log Cabin

Isn't this scrappy log cabin quilt just w-a-y too cute!! I think Jenny (no blog) did a fabulous job! CLICK ON PHOTO to enlarge. Jenny was my very first blogland swap partner. We swapped scraps with each other. Melly and Me Blog hosted this swap and provided the tutorial for this pattern back in the spring of 2008. Wow...was it THAT long ago!! Hhhmmm.....I guess Jenny is more on the ball than I am. I hang my head as I reveal that my blocks are still laying in one of my project boxes.


Here is a close up.....you can see some of the quilting designs. I like that she made smaller log cabins to use as part of her border.


I love this little diamond/square design she added in the sashing between her blocks.


I think I 'spy' some of my scraps in this photo.


Here is her simple white yet elegant back. Her label is w-a-y down in the bottom right hand corner.....LOL...behind the caladium.

A close up of her floral binding.

And a wonderful finish with a great label. Thank you so much Jenny for sending me these photos so I could share!!!
EDIT:>>>ATTENTION>>>>>THIS IS NOT My Quilt.....it belongs to my friend JENNY>>>>>>
