Log Cabin Doll Quilt
Here is our August Doll Quilt… The Log Cabin! This is an easy quilt if you stay organized. I am a firm believer in pre-cutting all your strips. It will keep the block accurate. Cut your strips, stack them by size and value then start stitching!

Nuclei Quilt Revisited

The multiple values in the border compliment all the different values of the swap fabrics. And all that white lets each fabric shine as part of a wonderful whole.
