So this is what I have been so busy with for the last 2 1/2 weeks . A friend of mine wanted me to make a quilt for her Mother for Christmas . She told me her Mother loves Humming Birds and if I could add some .
This is how it looked before the applique was added . Still on the design wall.
Its a full size quilt and I am so used to working on large quilts that this one seems very small .I made the log cabin block by doing Paper piecing.The block size is 7 x7 ....I know ,I know,it took a lot of blocks but I like to Paper Piece.......

The fabric is mostly from my scrap box and some from the stash. I used only light to med. colored fabric . and white,beige,off white ,cream for the back ground and light side of the log cabin . I quilted it by doing the 'stitch in the ditch' .
I am happy with the way it came out .Hope she enjoys it!!
I had fun with the applique . I really learned a lot doing this quilt ....
Merry Christmas !!

This quilt is gorgeous. I love how you did the applique on top of the log cabin. The colors are also very nice.
Betty,
That is beautiful! I love the light-colored logs behind that gorgeous applique. The hummingbird is the first thing that catches my eye. I just know the recipient will love this quilt--I cannot imagine anyone who would not be thrilled with this gift.
Your quilt is gorgeous. I love hummingbirds which makes this quilt extra special.
What a stunning quilt. I love everything about it.

Love the log cabin quilt. I have one to quilt too. The light centers I have sewn in to the center and want to applique the light centers. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Chris
Beautiful! You did an excellent job with both the log cabin blocks and the hummingbirds.
