Way back on the 26th of July, 2009 I posted this picture. The beginnings of a Quilt-as-you-go Log Cabin Quilt for our King size bed.
Today two years and 5 days later I am very very happy to share a photo of the finished quilt.
I had to add a border to the bottom of the quilt for tucking into the bed ... knowing what I know now, I should have made it 7 rows of 6 blocks but you don't see the border anyway. (The border is hanging over the clothes line out of sight)
This is my 3rd PhD and the one I really really wanted to finish. Thankyou Myra for allowing us to share after the deadline. Now onto my next PhD.

I made that quilt as you go as my very first quilt too. I arranged my blocks like the cover of the book, and pieced a border I made up. Had the quilt top done in a few days, but then due to family moving in, and having to pack it all away, then us moving, it took 16 years before I put the final stitch in the binding. It stinks when you keep losing part of it, and not being able to remember where the rest of it is. That quilt taught me a lot. What I know now, eventually I will make another one, and it will be much better than the first one. Congrats on a wonderful finish.
Great quilt, QAYG is perfect for a log cabin.
I love this blog I have been skimming through and just enjoying the quilt show of all the PHD`s thanks for sharing
I love the setting on this quilt. The colors are wonderful too. I am so glad that you shared the finish.
Narelle it's beautiful - congratulations on such a gorgeous (and impressive!) finish!
