    I love it, what log cabin pattern did you use? I have a couple of her books.
    The pattern is in Book 2 called American Promenade Quilt 94 x 94 but I took a class with her and she gives instructions for the embroidery work, and the emblishment stitching. She is just one smart lady and I wish that I lived closer to her workshop. If you ever get the chance take a class from an instructor in your area. Thank you all for the compliments.

    No its not a dumb question and if you check on the internet Betty Cotton (thats her real name!!) her website is: www.quiltyard.com
    Cotton Theory is a method or technique of quilting blocks and rectangles first and then assemble them. Her batting is the secret to getting a good finish as it seems to have an adhesive nature to it although it is 80% cotton and 20% polyester. As I said before I like the idea that the whole quilt can be made on a sewing machine obviously my Pfaff has fancy stitches but I have taught a class where they come with their 45 year old machine well ok you cannot do the fancy stitches or the embroidery but making this quilt without the fancy stitches or embroidery work would be very nice and completely reversible.
