Hi DeneK, I liked visiting your blog. I loved meeting your furr babies! I have 3 of my own at home and would dearly love to add a 2-3 year old female to my pack. But, dear husband says no. 
My youngest needs a playmate. lol 
Very nice. I love the color. And, I'm not looking close. I think it looks fabulous!

It was a pattern. Except that I didn't put it together correctly and the star that was supposed to be in the middle disappeared. I think I exchanged rows 1 and 3 of the log cabins. Didn't notice til it was done. Oh well... I like it anyway.

What off an 1/8th of an inch..........who would have known had you not told us. Isn't it amazing what one can do when one sets her mind to it? When I did my first piece to see if I could it was not as accurate as yours is, but I proved that I could do it and now it's becoming second nature...Are you ready to do another?
Love the colors, too, and that you didn't paper piece. As you found out it can be done. I'm always trying to figure out how to quilt this size without detracting from the intricate piecework..

I do like working with smaller pieces. Even when I am doing a large quilt, I usually work with smaller blocks. I keep telling people that it is easier to sew straight for 2" than 8". Really I can't seem to acquire accuracy -- either cutting or stitching. I like to work with blocks that can be sized down for better accuracy. My goal is just to improve over time (and I think that I do). Second nature it ain't... At least not yet.
