Finally Pieced!

I just finished piecing my "Basket Of Logs" quilt and couldn't be happier! I had quilted this quilt for a friend many years ago and have wanted one of my own ever since. The border on this quilt challenged me until I finally got the hang of it. I know I will use this on other quilts in the future.
I did use up alot of my strips that I had accumulated over the past couple of years and will have to start cutting more and putting them away for future use. It's a great way to make a quilt bigger!


Have a quilty weekend!!

I LOVE this quilt. A friend of mine made one a few years ago. I nag her about gifting it to me constantly, but so far she has not caved!
