The quilt top is finished! I like it and R+N like it. Hurrah.
I spent ages perfecting the arrangement of the blocks, but this isn't that arrangement. I stuffed up twice when sewing the blocks together and did more rearranging on the run to avoid unpicking. It's still ok, and the bits that annoy me probably won't annoy others.
The log cabin design was a lot more fun to put together than I ever guessed it would be. I suspect I'll be doing another one sometime!
I ran off and bought fabric to back it yesterday, having decided I had nothing suitable in stash. I had acceptable fabric weight and colours but a quilt that will go on the floor is better with a patterned backing so the dirt doesn't show so much. Actually, the strips of backing left after a quilt is finished have been a significant part of my patchwork stash. I've even cut and pieced bindings for this.
However, this quilting has to wait until I've done the quilting on Mama's silk cushion, which has been all ready to go for several days now.
