I worked on more log cabin blocks last night. I now have 50 of them and I still haven't decided on a setting for it yet. I'll decide on that later, right now I just want to get all of the blocks made. As I was sewing my log cabin blocks, I decided to play around with a pattern that I've had for a while. It is called Everlasting Wreaths. I got it at Laundry Basket Quilts and it is by Edyta Sitar, she has beautiful patterns. I'm thinking that I will just leave this by my machine and that way I can make one or two while I am working on something else.
After I get several more blocks made I will switch the blocks around so that I don't have the same fabrics so close in the quilt. I just wanted to show you how it was looking so far.
I mentioned the other day that I was thinking about using my Courthouse Steps on my bed. I put it on there to see how well it would fit.
I like it on there pretty good. Now I can't wait to get my walls and bed painted and it quilted!! It was a little long but I just tucked it up under the pillows sorta like a bedspread. I would rather have a quilt that is too big than not big enough. That's all that I have for today! Hopefully tomorrow I will have more quilty stuff to show you!!!

Poor Andrew (and Hunter) hope they both feel better soon!
That is a beautiful quilt! It looks so pretty layed out on your bed!
I know it will take a few days for the boys to feel better but time does heal. Glad Hunter wasn't hurt worse!
Your Everlasting Wreath blocks are similar to the Pineapple blocks. I have 60 of those made; need 120 for the entire quilt top, and then a border. I use really tiny scraps; the blocks are six inches square. Sometimes I find something in the wastebasket that can be used. Wow! I'm stingy!
Boys!
Love the wreath blocks what a wonderful design and your courthouse steps look great on the bed.
Holy Buckets! You've been busy! Just when I thought I was going to get Edyta's Eldon and Mountain Top patterns, you showed what her Everlasting Wreath pattern looks like. Now I don't know which one to try. Maybe that doesn't matter, tho, since I don't have near enuf scraps. I have been working on a pineapple block and have 11 blocks done and need 9 more. Glad to hear your boys are OK.
Happy Quilting!
I JUST LOVE ALL OF YOUR SCRAP QUILTS!! Did I say that emphatically enough? : )
Thank God Andrew is ok. What a horrible thing to happen.
Your courthouse steps are fantastic! I love your new blocks too.

Love the new quilt you are working on. Now, I just want to see what you end up doing with that big pile of quilts you showed the other day!
Of course, I love your log cabin blocks - you are getting a nice stack built up. And...I made the Everlasting Wreath quilt several years ago and am FINALLY hand quilting it now. The blocks were so fun to make, but I did not enjoy piecing it all together!
Poor Boys...glad they're healing well.
The wreaths pattern is really neat. Can't wait to see it finished. I like her Hay Bales pattern too. Neat website for patterns.
Your courthouse steps looks good on your bed. What color are you doing the walls?
