I used this swirly black print fabric for the backing, quilted it in wavy lines, and then filled some of the lines in with a wishbone pattern. This was my first time quilting wishbones and I loved it!
I used some more of the black fabric for binding, made this pretty floral print sleeve - some of the stars on the front are in the same fabric - and I'm hand sewing it onto the back of the quilt now. It's almost complete! After this, I'll add a label and call it finished.
Doesn't it feel great to finish a project? What are you working on today?

Here it is! My very newest quilt pattern, Log Cabin Under the Stars.
I used Island Batik's upcoming fabric line, Tropicana Twist by Kathy Engle. This fabric will be arriving in your local quilt shop later this year, in November/December. Mark your calendar - I know you're going to want some of this!
This is the basic block. It's a bright and happy log cabin with a brilliant star in the center.
The four blocks in the center of the quilt form a beautiful blue and green plus sign.

I backed this quilt with another gorgeous green fabric from Island Batik.
Here it is lying on a bed. It fills a room with sunshiny warmth and cheer.
Pretty folds.
I quilted the Log Cabin Under the Stars quilt in a simple allover loopy meander.
I used the same bright blue fabric as the outer border for the quilt binding.
This quilt was fast to make and fun to sew. Full color diagrams are featured throughout the pattern along with the written instructions.

Isn't this the cutest? I'm working on the Macaws pattern by Elizabeth Hartman from the current Quilty Box.
Disclaimer: The items used in this post were given to me by Quilty Box at no cost to me.
Here's a pic of how the finished project is going to look. I think it will be perfect to add a splash of tropical fun to my beach cottage.
Here's a close up look at the background fabric for this quilt.
Have you ever sewn an Elizabeth Hartman pattern? She has such a cute design style, but there are always a lot of little pieces to cut out. It's essential to sort and label each piece before you begin sewing so nothing gets mixed up.
A skinny strip of background fabric.
Small squares of background fabric.
And more cutting...
And labeling...and sorting...
I used every little zipper bag available!
This is the gray fabric that will be used for the bird's perches. I haven't sewn that section yet.
A collection of colorful bird feather fabrics. Aren't they pretty?
Trail Mix. She wants her cutting mat back. She enjoys napping under the warm light.
More fabric for bird feathers. I love the color and texture of these pieces.
Cutting the last piece! Time to sew.
I decided to sew all three Macaws at the same time. The pattern begins with the birds face. The black square becomes the eye.
I made a mistake right away by mixing up two of the fabrics. Can you see it? Unsewing - Ugh!
Three Macaw faces. I love it.
Next, the wings are sewn together in long strips. Aren't these fabrics just the cutest? Look at those tigers! The orange fabric with the curves looks like feathers to me.
Faces and wings sewn together.
Time to sew some tail feathers.
This is my progress to date. I hope I can finish this up soon. It's been fun.
