Phoebe....presenting the Moderne Log Cabin Blanket! I am not sure, but she may be disapproving. That look...what does it mean?
Oh, isn't she the perky little kittie girl, in the middle of everything?
Undulating waves of garter stitch.
It was nice to have on one's lap on cold nights while working on the never ending project.
More undulating wave of grain...I mean....garter stitch...
The MLCB has been relegated to a travel project, as the GB II quilt is now the project of evenings by the fire. No easy task that, as a travel project. MLCB has outgrown my knitting bag and is now being carted around in a shopping bag.
P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the quilting efforts of Dearest Sister and myself. I have had my questions as this one came together. It was not a slamdunk like the redwork quilt. However, I am liking the finished effect very much. The plan is to quilt about one quarter inch inside the pieced seam of each and every piece. Yep, about a bazillion stitches! But I am up to the task, and on the job. It suffices as a good break from the acreage of the never ending garter stitch, and that a break from the finger needling of the quilting.
See. It's all about balance!

It is lovely...how large will it be?? Love, WS
I love it, is it for my b-day? Because I will take it sooner than that if you don't want it just sitting around for all that time... Quilt looks awesome! I am so proud of you and your many talents!
That is going to be amazing. Is that from a pattern? Or are you making it up as you go along?
I haven't made one of the MLCb's yet but after seeing yours, I may just have to give it a try. There is something so relaxing about miles and miles of garter stitch, as long as you have another project to break up the boredom ever now and then.
Very nice "powerful" wool! Just the thing for chill avoidance!
This is very pretty. And you just reminded me I've got a log cabin afghan in my project basket that I've been neglecting.
My goodness but you've been craftily busy! Love the Grandbebe quilt; just gorgeous. And did you sew these blocks together after knitting each one??
I just want to know how you got two ginoumous projects going at the same time? And both with a million stitches? You are obviously a much better person than I am because as much as I love my grandchildren that would be more than I could commit to. The blanket is looking really good, though. And so is Phoebe.
It's so beautiful. My Mum made me a blanket like that and I love it so much.
this is a gorgeous blanket. My sister is trying to make something like this. is it from Mason Dixon?
Great Log Cabin blanket, though the longer it gets the harder it is to do.
Like your quilting too, good to see another like minded person like myself.
Beautiful. I really like it.
My knitting group is thinking of using this pattern when we make our lapghans for the veterans at our local VA hospital for Christmas next year. Your blanket is very convincing- great work.
OMG This is such a beautiful blanket! Can't wait to see the finished product.
