"Step Lively" a Rebuilt Log Cabin

This looks a lot like a previous "Rebuilt Log Cabin" I posted, but it's yet another quilt -- the colors are probably similar.  If you have studied this design, you may notice that I did the same cutting of border corners as I did with the block - look what happens? Hey, cutting off those 4 corners took courage!

I have a Tutorial -- my one and only Tutorial (tab across the top) for a Rebuilt Log Cabin  block.   

It's quilted with a variety of patterns and threads requiring several different needles and a LOT of tension  adjustments.  I'm happy with it, and LOVE the border variation, and really love that I took a chance!  Quilt size is about 65" x 85".  

I quilt on a DSM, a Janome 6500.  I started quilting Sunday, and finished it today, Thursday.

    I like the way the borders look. And I am sure it took a lot of courage to cut them off.

    Love how you mix it up with the quilting. It's like a Patsy Thompson/Pajama Quilter sampler! The pebbles look amazing. I might try some.

    Your twisted log cabin is great. And your quilting is outstanding. Wasn't it scary...and fun...taking a chance?

I'm looking forward to getting back to work on my log cabins... oh, eventually.... things are a bit busy in the household now!
