How can it be Saturday already? The days just fly by! I can’t believe we celebrate Little E’s first birthday tomorrow!
I finished piecing my little log cabin blocks together and I am trying to decide on a border now.
It seems this project has been a struggle from the get go. The blocks took forever. It took forever to decide on a layout and I am still not 100% happy with it. I’ve been trying to settle on the border all week and I am already stumped on the quilting!
I did a bit of rearranging in the sewing room yesterday. I had an eye exam in the morning and it took forever for the drops to wear off so I could see well enough to sew. Ugh. I am working this morning but Mr. Wonderful should be home from his business trip to Germany by the time I get home. Yippee!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I also like #1 and #3 – the lighter choices for the inner border just don’t seem “strong” enough.
I don’t envy you this step — they all have their pros and cons. Any reason for no inner border option on 1 and 5? Ursula’s premise is interesting, is the border and necessity for size options? Just means it needs to simmer a bit more for the choice to reveal itself!
I loved #1 with it. Thought it needed a strong color that could stand up to the darks in the log cabin blocks. And it also has great character of its own. Even seems to form a double border all by itself because of the different patterns within one fabric.
Have you considered no border at all? Unless it needs to be made bigger for some reason sometimes log cabin quilts look wonderful border less…Just a thought.
#3 would be my first choice–I usually use the inner narrow border as an accent, not a neutral. The green has pattern but is not too busy. It calms all the action of the scrappy log cabin blocks.
I looked again your quilt on the oldest post and I saw lots of brows et greens…..I think the 3 and 5 will work !
Have a nice weekend with your family !
1. 2. 3. and 5 all work for me and they all bring out something different in the block colors and values.
I recently made a log cabin quilt. It does take forever to both cut and piece. They look so nice in the end though.
Not that you asked for opinions but I like #3 makes the colors pop 🙂
