This is a quilt I made for one of my ex-coworkers. I call it "A Labor Of Love" because I had a hard time with it. The first one the log cabin were so uneven, I had to cut more and start over. The design I try to machine quilt, but it was not straight and round. I pick it out and decided to hand quilt the large feather circle. In each of the flower inner corner are two high heel shoes and two baseball caps. The bride loves shoes and the groom loves baseball caps. The binding is machine quilted. Opinions welcome.

Quilt Binded and ready for the wash

Very pretty! I can't do a straight log cabin to save my soul that's why I always foundation or paper piece them!
