Finished! Wonky Log Cabin

I'm proud to say that I finished machine quilting my wonky log cabin quilt last weekend, just in time to bind it and show it in the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side.

I'm pretty happy with how this quilt turned out. I really like how the (semi) straight line quilting looks. It did make me realize that I definitely need more practice machine quilting. That just means I'll need to stitch some more quilt tops--no problem!

Here's a flat shot of the quilt as well.

My original plan had been to take the "beauty shot" of the quilt in front of a beautiful blue lake/sky combo. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate, and I had a gray-ish backdrop instead. I'll show the photo anyway!

I also took some close-ups. You can see my photo shoot helper in one of the pictures. I couldn't keep him off the quilt! 



If you're visiting from the Blogger's Quilt Festival (or any other site), thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you'll consider joining as a follower. 
And definitely stop by Amy's Creative Side to check out all of the gorgeous quilts in the online show. There are some truly fantastic quilts, and in just a few minutes of looking, I've found so many patterns and ideas I want to try!

    I like your wonky log blocks and especially how the red longer pieces randomly appear. They really make the quilt. Nicely done. Jealous you're at market.
