One step closer!

The ongoing quilt project is going on. One of my sisters said that I have gone from doing a Big Honkin` Project to doing a Big Ass Honking Project. I think she is right....
I increased my fabric stash substantially buying and rejecting different fabrics for this quilt. I did not plan well, but I have learned a great deal. First lesson: Spend more time planning! Even though there were some fabrics that were rejected for the quilt top, they would all have been fine for the backing. The problem was that most of them were bought online and I did not want to buy too much yardage until I new they would work for me. Anyway, long story short, I decided to make this quilt reversible and use up some those small pieces (1 yard or less) of fabric and this is what I came up with. An easy to piece log cabin design. I put some sashing around the outside edges this morning (no photo yet) and am ready to start sandwiching the quilt this afternoon. I have never quilted anything this large on my sewing machine, so it will be a challenge! Since this will be a quilt that will be used and laundered quite a bit, I plan to do a fairly small stipple stich to quilt it with. Wish me luck!
