Log Cabin finish - Chef D'oeuvre!!

I participated in Cecile and Bea's little quilt-a-long since January involving log cabins.  What I loved about this is that there were NO rules.  Well, that was also pretty difficult as well.  You could do whatever size, style you wanted.

I chose to make mine mini, and I was using that same French General fabric I have been trying to get rid of!!  These little blocks didn't use up very much, I'll tell you!



Each block consisted of 4 little 3" log cabins.  Two were courthouse steps;  the other two were more traditional.  The strips were 1-1/4" cut;

to set them, I chose 4 little orphan blocks I'd made for the swap I did with Janet O last year which I rejected.  They aren't log cabin but they are French General so I figured that was ok.

I put them on point and set them with two different shirtings I had.

Quilting?  Well that's another story.  Let's just say I should practice more!! My "feathers" are pretty sad!  And my quilting is very inconsistent.  One good thing is how much I enjoyed using my Janome 6600 free motion quilting.  What a great machine.

Here is what I tried to do:





I am naming this little quilt "The French General downsizes to a log cabin"!!

Cute, hunh?  I usually hate coming up with names but this one was fun.

Did you do their little quilt along??
