Gwennie Inspired Medallion QAL- Log Cabin Themed Borders


For this round of the Gwennie QAL the border theme is log cabins.  For my first quilt I made lots of little 3 inch quarter log cabins with red centers and 1.5 inch neutral strips and arranged them randomly for the border. 



Some of the red centers even have little baskets in them.  


For quilt # 2 I also used 1.5 inch strips in red and brown with some yummy treats thrown in for fun and... 

... I just sewed the strips log cabin style around the entire center.

Next border looks like it will be a star theme. Hmmm...

The Gwennie QAL link up is at Humble Quilts.  
What fun to see how everyone interprets each theme.

    Both log cabin borders are just perfect for their respective quilts! I adore the colors you are using in your second quilt!

    I think quilt two is wild and crazy. Love those themed fabrics.

    I love all this log cabin fun - from the wee ones to the giant one!
    And that second quilt just makes me giggle, which is undignified in a woman my age, but there ya go...

    It's been interesting to see the variety of ways quilters interpret "log cabins." Yours are both so different and yet both perfect for the quilts.

    I like that you have one quilt with a huge log cabin and one with lots of tiny ones - not sure why I find that so pleasing but there you go. These are both growing so beautifully.

    I like the way you did your log cabin round on quilt #2. A lot of time spent stitching the narrow strips.
