Our dear friends, Matt and Annie, welcomed their new bundle of joy to the world this week. Laura Louise's quilt will soon be on its way to North Carolina.
This is my first log cabin quilt and it was such a joy to make. I used strips from my scraps, which I organize according to Bonnie Hunter's technique. I followed tradition and used red as the center of the square. The use of red is to represent the heart of the home. Which seems very fitting in this case - Laura Louise is joining one of the most wonderful families I know.
After finishing the blocks, I searched through my stash to find a back. This bug fabric was picked up by my mom and is perfect with this quilt! It is almost as though I planned it. I could not have asked for a better back.
We are so happy for Matt and Annie and cannot imagine how excited Rebecca must be to have a new sister!
