Completed Log Cabin Baby

The Log Cabin Baby quilt for a friend of mine due in October is finished!
I am so ahead of the game for this fall. But it's back to work next week so that feeling will be short lived, for sure.
I have to admit that I love the piecing process much more than the machine quilting process. If I had my ideal, I'd probably hand quilt most of my projects- it's what I did before kids. But at this point of my life the time factor plays a huge role in what I choose to do.
So machine quilting it is.
The binding is on and it's ready to be given away when the time comes.

Log Cabin Baby

Here's the color scheme I've chosen for the log cabin baby quilt.
That floral fabric on the left was the jumping off point for the colors.
I really do enjoy choosing the fabrics and I even like the cutting of all the pieces. But now comes the really fun part- arranging all the blocks.

Yo Yo Quilt Top

The Yo Yo Quilt Top is finished! I had to sew all those yo-yos to the last row. Whew! I've got the batting and the backing and now need to pin it.

But before I do that I need to get to work on that log cabin baby quilt.

August Already?

How did August get here so fast? It's amazing how quickly summer flies by.
We've been enjoying lots of juicy watermelon this past week.
And now we're off to enjoy a few days away with lots of sun and swimming.
