A Lovely Year of Finishes for March Log Cabin Heart

Well here it is, FINISHED, I really can't hardly believe that I was able to get this completed with 6 days to spare.  Many thanks go again to the gals that are hosting A Lovely Year Of Finishes.  Having a goal is great for me since I am a list maker and goal setter.
A Lovely Year of Finishes
Click this button on the right side of my blog to go to this site.  Linking up is easy and I am finding it a great experience.  Checking off my list of UFO's is very satisfying also.  I may even get brave and try to finish a COUPLE of UFO's for April.
Well, back to Log Cabin Hearts....I used King Tut Egypsy Rose #403 for the quilting.  I used one 2,000 yd spool for bobbin thread and one 2,000 yd for the top.  Both spools have less than 500 yds left on each so I estimate there is about 3,000 yds in the quilt.  I used Hobbs Heirlooms for the batting.
Here is a closeup of the border quilting.
Now the only thing left is to call Angelyn and tell her she can pick it up and say goodbye to Log Cabin Hearts, I know it is going to a good home.  I am showing great restraint by not calling her too early in the morning.  It was actually finished yesterday, but I try not to do any business activity on Sunday.  So the clock is ticking slowing for me this morning.  But it is all part of the journey.  I am always in awe of the wonderful experiences and friendships you come across as a quilter.  Hope your day is filled with joy.

    Oh that's pretty with the hearts. Congrats on the finish! I've found the Lovely Year of Finishes to be such a motivator. I've finished some WIPs (and UFOs) that were sitting around for a really really long time. Isn't it great?

    Beautimus, loverly, precious, priceless. Those are a few words that come to my mind. A little more delayed gratification (fruit of patience) wait for Dennis schedule to come with me to pick it up! What a blessed freshness to start the spring season off. New beginnings! Thanks, Sherry! (It is hard to really sum up words sometimes...) See you this week. Hugs and Love, Angel

    I am so glad you like it, Angel. Yes it is difficult to have the patience to wait for you to see it in person. See you soon

    A beautiful quilt. I love log cabins anyway, and this is a great variation.
