The quilt appeared in Australian Patchwork & Quilting in around December, and my next is due in print soon, with another to be sent off next month ... busy busy busy!
Well, here it is! The log cabin blocks are 5" finished, and I have to confess I don't remember how many are in the quilt, but it's over 100. I think there are 36 in the centre section ... and hmmm ... if I wasn't feeling so lazy today I'm sure I could work out the rest.The blocks are all made from strips and strings left over from Thimbleberries club projects over the years. It's amazing how much of that stuff can build up. I actually managed to put a huge dent in them, but I think it's built up again already!
The picture is prior to quilting. After I quilted it, I put little clusters of buttons at the interections of the swags. It looks really cute. I named it 'Too many Log Cabins are never enough'. In the magazine they called it 'Never Enough Log Cabins' I'm assuming for typesetting reasons. It's among my favourite quilts right now ...

I really am impressed! Are the swags appliqued onto your background fabric? A log cabin quilt is definitely on my list of quilts to make someday. :)
But probably not little ones like this!
It's beautiful. I was sewing with friends tonight and we were all talking about having the "need" to make a log cabin quilt.
That is really lovely - the swags complement the log cabins perfectly.
It is just very beautifull. I really love the look of it.
Wow Tazzie that is gorgeous. It looks almost 3D the swags look like shadows under a 3 dimensional row :) Neat! Congrats! xoxo melzie
It is wonderful. I have a subscription and love finding your quilts in it. And what I love about that magazine is the lovely pictures they give you of the quilts!
Oooh, it's gorgeous! I LOVE log cabin!!!
Jeanne :)
Tazzie, I love your log cabin quilt! The swag borders really add punch to it.
Tazzie,this quilt is fabulous!!!!
I love teh Log cabin block and and the autumn colors are mine preferred :))))
Tazzie! That's a beautiful quilt. What a difference it makes adding those borders with the medallion type center!
I love Australian Patchwork and Quilting and guess I need to subscribe since I can't buy it locally any more.
Congratulations on having your quilt(s) published.
Another wonderful quilt! I have already made some quilts from APQ and I love the pictures. Now I will look for your name as well.
It's a bautiful quilt. I love the scalloped borders.

Tazzie, this quilt took my breath away - it is so eautiful. I love the swag, and how the color of the swags goes with the blues in the log cabin.
And you're right, Tazzie ! I have a subsciption to APQ magazine, and when I got my last December issue, I was VERY proud to tell my friends : "See that beautifil quilt ? Well, I "know" the maker!"
LOL !
Now I understand you're making a second one to be shown in the magazine, and I can't wait seeing it,.... and tease my friends again ! LOL
Higs & smiles !
NADINE.
Congratulations Tazzie. The Australian mags take a while to find their way across the ditch, but if we are patient we get to savour them too.
Congratulations on having your quilts published. How exciting! Great job on the log cabins. One of my favorites.
Tazzie it is just beautiful...I love log cabin quilts.
I have been looking around for that magazine but either it hasn't made it to my part of the world or I missed it. I will keep looking, I would love to see it in the magazine. The quilt looks wonderful.
It is beautiful, just beautiful! What a great finish.
Congratulations on your publication, Tazzie, it is such a beautiful log cabin. What fabric did you use for the swags? I love it.
Hi! How lovely! The ways you can use log cabin blocks never seems to end:-)
Beautiful quilt- I recognize lots of fabrics....
Love the swags - I NEVER would have thought about that setting!
When I got that magazine (before I'd even had a chance to read it) my husband looked at that quilt and commented that he really liked it. It was only when I looked closer at it that I realised it was yours! It's gone on to the never ending list of 'one day' quilts.
Yummy quilt!!! Which magazine will be publishing it??
Love your LC Swag.
Hi Tazzie,I Love your quilt it is stunning. I am in the process of making this Quilt, it was for my sick auntie but she died before could finish it. It will now go to her daughter. I have a photo copy of this quilt pattern from the Australian Patchwork Quilting mag, but somehow the corner pattern of the swages is missing. I was trying to find a copy of the pattern and came across your site. Another member of our group has also made it but she died a couple of weeks ago. Love it, it is beautiful.
