When I first started this thread, I didn't state how old my
son was????Never even thought about it. He is 41. I made him and his wife a quilt with shams for Christmas for 2008.
She was tickled to death, I'm sure he was too. So I thought I
would start early this year for Christmas gifts.
Thanks everyone so much for your help and ideas.
It's snowed today and I couldn't get out, to get Eleanor's
book. Almost can't wait.

vjengels, I think your quilt looks great, Love all the colors. I just had to make one square today. I won't be able
to get Eleanor Burns's book until later in the week. So I couldn't wait. I'm not sure about the tans I have, may need
go look for some more. I have checked what I have on hand.

I am also making a 2nd Log Cabin, using all scraps. I discovered this never-ending supply of scraps. I have worked through about half the scraps, and need to make about 20 more blocks--15" blocks.
I would say just to have fun with it. You can make it without foundation paper of foundation fabric. I didn't know that when I made the first one. It is very easy. If you need help with that, just email me at:[email protected].
I think I will just tie mine, as it gets expensive to have everything machine-quilted by someone else. I have no desire to learn machine quilting, but I think it is beautiful. I understand that most Log Cabins can be tied easily.
Good luck!
