Morning everyone and good evening in some cases!!!! Amy of Park City Girl has organized the most wonderful online Quilt Festival, complete with sponsors and prizes! Her idea is for us to share a favorite quilt and give the story behind it and then link to Mr. Linky on her blog. When I last checked there was well over 370 quilts listed and 
it is so much fun to see and read about the quilts. Here is my very favorite quilt that I have made, a pink and brown log cabin. A friend of mine had made one and I just fell in love with it. I didn't really have much in the way of pinks and browns in my stash and set about searching for just the right colors. My group of friends at work started digging through their stashes and before I knew it I had an amazing pile of pinks and browns. My friend Deb gave me the perfect red for the center squares. I used the creams & lights from my stash and bought the border. Not only do I just love the quilt, but it is such a wonderful reminder of those precious friendships. Thanks to Amy for this wonderful and fun idea!!
I have made a little progress on the Stars and Strips quilt with some of the bits done! That ME fabric is so happy to sew on!!
Looser Monday report.......I gained :-( !!!! I figured if I wrote it small it wouldn't hurt so much.
Happy week to you all and hope to see you in the online Quilt Festival!

I love your log cabin! I'm so lovin' Amy's quilt show, and am gonna post one too. Just wish it was a real show, and right about now I'd be coming over to where your quilt is hanging and ask you, "so... where to for lunch?!?" !

I love your pink and brown log cabin quilt. It's amazing, something to be treasured for sure. I'll bet when you look at it you think of your friends that donated fabric.
My, those pinks and browns are so pretty!!
I love your quilt and your story.
You're so funny -- I saw that teeny tiny type! LOVE the pretty pinks and browns. A pink and brown quilt is on my wishlist. Someday. Sigh.
Your log cabin is great!! I have made that stars and strips. It was a lot of fun and I loved the results. Terry Atkinson has great designs. Sorry about the result for the week. Just jump back on the bandwagon.
I think yours is the first pink and brown quilt of all the Quilt Festival quilts I've visited. It beautiful! I have fabric for one in those colors ready to go. I love how you got everything together for yours. Great story.
Beautiful quilt. I love the log cabin pattern. It has to be one of my favorites.
What a lovely pink and brown log cabin! One of the first patterns I made...back in the 80's.
Get back on the wagon now, y'here? I need the company :-)
I love your quilt Cheryl! The red centers are great. And I saw that even written small!!!!! You cant hide over there, cause I see you!!!
Your MEs look just like the ones I just bought ... are they "Recipe for Friendship"?? Aren't they just gorgous!!!?!!
Love your log cabin, I just love pink and brown together :o).
Hugs,
Joy :o)
P.S ... sorry 'bout your gain.... keep thinking positive, next week will be better!! :o)
I love it! The color combo, and Log Cabins are so fun to put together, gorgeous quilt!
My first big quilt was a log cabin so it's a sentimental favourite for me. Love the pink and brown together!
Beautiful log cabin quilt. (I too am showing a log cabin :)
Love the color combination-I never thought of brown and pink together!
It is such a good idea. Love the quilt. Love seeing everyone's pretty projects.
I do love pink & brown quilts and being a log cabin design makes it even better!
Yea! I love your blog!
Love your log cabin quilt - and all the special people that helped out, make it special! Thanks for sharing :)
I love this quilt. Pink and brown color combos are everywhere, but the large strips make a bold statement without going fussy.
Your quilt is beautiful! You did an amazing job on it! I have been wanting to make a log cabin quilt for some time now and hope to start one after the few projects I have on the go are complete...you have inspired my colour choices!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I love that pink and brown quilt! That's one of the next color combos on my list, but I don't have a lot of browns right now. I need great coworkers like yours!
Thanks for the link for the online quilt show!
I love brown and pink quilts and being a log cabin design makes it extra pretty. Thanks for sharing your favorite.
Gorgeous quilt, Cheryl! I want some Neopolitan ice cream now! Yummy!
gorgeous quilt, and it's so nice to have friends like that (and that share the same hobby!) small writing, huh? well, just remember to take measurements too, that might make you feel better!
love it! What size are your strips, and what size is the quilt. Beautiful!
