Gorgeous quilt!! I recently had a log-cabin quilted. I used an all-over edge-to-edge large pattern. In other words, the stitching lines weren't too close to each other. Here is the link to my quilt. I hope you can see the pattern clearly.

I want one! I started one a while back and it was one of the hard ones. I just can't seem to get it together. I know it will be pretty but it is a royal pain. Next time I'll be using the easier pattern and brighter pieces. You did a great job.

Second photo is the queen sized pieced top, ready to be quilted. The arrangement is one that I've seen called crosses and losses, with the predominately red blocks forming crosses, and the yellow blocks creating a box. None of that was planned particularly -- I just played around with the blocks on my design wall until they seemed pretty balanced.
Now to figure out how to quilt it. I'll probably do a loose stipple, but I often get bored with that, and burst into random feathers and flowery things, which I'm not sure will be the best on this quilt. I don't like doing straight line quilting on such a big quilt. Quandry . . .
Do you have a favorite quilting treatment for log cabin blocks? Care to share?

I'm using log cabins as a setting kit for a 12 month BOM (queen size) with a barn raising set and thought I'd use oak leaves. Looking at four blocks, by placing one leaf on each block and then turning the stems so that they meet where the 4 blocks meet will be a neat effect.
