59 and four quarters

One day I was wearing my favorite apron, when I realized that if I didn't make something else out of this cute fabric, my world would be lost.


so I went on a hunt . . .




And found a couple jelly rolls.  




I had a scrappy log cabin in mind . . .





I'm a little too OCD for true scrappiness . . .  I have to have SOME order. . .











I wanted some chunky lines 


This is where this quilt got bottle-necked for a few months . . . on the dining room table, waiting for the chunky lines.  










Someone in our house just turned 59 and four quarters !! (can't say that other number :)


 That is "T-bone" in the back ground, he's probably in the freezer by now :)

  4. Log cabin was a great way to show off these fabrics. Your bovine related comments cracked me up. I live in a town where many people would not find that amusing, but when you grow up around farms and ranches you know where your food comes from.
