Log cabin hidden stars

Now the Oregon quilt is finished and given, I can put the picture up for you to see. It will go in the new apartment (not yet found) to make it cozy. There are four different block layouts to give the pattern. It is the first time I needed a design wall to keep track of where I was in the pattern. It worked really well. At the next quilt Market, I will buy one of my own.

My current project is one with the silk kimono fabric I found at a vintage clothing store in Lincoln. The quilt shop now has silk taffeta fat quarters that I am using to frame the figures in the print. The colors in the taffeta are rich and I love how it picks up the colors in the kimono design. It is fun to experiment with something new. When it is finished, I will show you.

Rhonda is here for Labor Day weekend. She made us a pasta dish with pesto using the basil and fresh vegetables from the garden. The whole house smelled wonderful. Wish I had more cooking skills. Someday...
