Log Cabin Hearts/A Lovely Year of Finishes

Many thanks to Fiber of All Sorts and Sew Bitter Sweet Designs for hosting A Lovely Year of Finishes for 2013.  I was actually able to link-up my finished Buzzsaw quilt the last of February which has urged me to step out on a limb and link up my Log Cabin Hearts that I am making for Angelyn as my "quilt to finish" for this month.

This is King Size and dear hubby had to get out the 5' ladder to get this photo and we still didn't get all of the outside border.  In fact after spreading it out in the available floor space there was no where to walk so every time we stepped on the edge of the border (in stocking feet) we wrinkled the border.  It really got comical after awhile. Actually we didn't get the full top and bottom either.  Oh well, you get the idea.  So before the last day of the month I must prepare the backing, lay the packaged batting out to rest, because it is larger than my batting by the roll, it only goes to 96" and I need a minimum of 114", load the quilt in the frame, wind a zillion (well maybe not a zillion but lots) of bobbins, load the quilt, quilt it with custom quilting, trim it, prepare the binding and sew it on and hand stitch it down...oh I can't forget the label and then I am done, all in 31 days. Glad it's a longer month, I may need that extra day.  Hmmmm, yep, I'm stepping out on a limb, but that's ok it will be fun to see if I can do it and if I can't I just won't be joining the linky party.  The fun is in the trying.  I'm going to have a busy journey this whole month, hope you enjoy yours.
