I know I haven't posted much lately, but I haven't been napping on the couch all day (well, maybe on a few days). I've been trying to finish the quilt I started for my Dad's cabin. I started this back in February with the goal of working on the 100 blocks a little each week and having an easy finish. Well, it didn't happen quite that way. So I made a decision in May to NOT work on anything else until I had this done...and now it it finished! Queen-sized (95" x 95") courthouse steps quilt made entirely from recycled vintage men's shirts. I actually had cut up so much fabric when making Ryan's quilt that I mostly just used those leftovers...with a few new additions added in at the last minute. It still needs to be quilted by a longarmer, but it will be done soon..... Yeah!!!
Happy Father's Day Dad!!
What's next???

Great I have a log cabin started but it too needs to be quilted. I think I spent five years doing the blocks. You did well to get it this far in a few months. Love the plaids
