As one of the featured designers for this challenge,

I wanted to share with you my recently finished Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt!

I started this fun paper piecing project about 7 months ago 

and loved every minute of it!

♥ ♥ ♥

Now, there are lots of ways to make a Log Cabin block but I decided to go the paper piecing route because... 

#1 I love to paper piece

#2 I didn't have to pre-cut or press my strips

#3 Paper piecing ensures perfectly straight, square blocks!

Here are some details about my quilt:

Finished block size = 7"

Finished quilt size = 70" x 84"

Total number of blocks = 120

Total number of pieces = 1,560

Machine quilted by Cathy Barney in Alpine, UT.

Quilting design = Modern Loops
