Got this baby done this evening... I'd show you the front but I didn't take a pic of it - yet. I used blue chalk for some of my markings ( actually ONLY markings) and now I'm letting the quilt soak overnight in cool water in sincere hopes that all the blue comes out. I already washed it once in cool water and with fabric soap and it LOOKS like everything came out that was supposed to, but I don't want to take any chances, so to 'err on the side of caution' ( is that how it goes - it doesn't sound right)... I'm going to let it soak overnight and then maybe lay it out in the 85+ degrees sunshine tomorrow. With that kind of heat, it should dry in about five minutes lol.
The quilting isn't perfect, but I don't care... I enjoyed every bit of doing it - so what if I got carried away and did something different in a couple spots and forgot to do anything in a couple more...

The log cabin quilt is out laying on Moe's frame - not pinned on - just laying on it. Maybe I'll get at least the backing pinned on before I take hubby to drs appt and then drop our car off to get it's body work done. Once the car is dropped off, there's nothing for me to do but sit home and relax... get some more quilting done.
Oooo! I got a jelly roll and three (free) fqs from Missouri Star Quilt Company today. Now if I could just remember why I picked this jelly roll - well, any jelly roll in fact. These are "Aunt Grace's Basket of Scraps".. if you're curiosity gets the best of you and you can't wait until I post a pic of it tomorrow ( sometime), you can go to MSQC's website and search for it. :)
Ok, and on that note, I'm going to call it a night... it's 10:30 and Buddy is waiting.
take care
