I just fell in love with this quilt on the cover, WOW!
and look the quilt is not pieced perfectly but who cares! it is just amazing too look at.
The book is available thru the American Textile History Museum, I will admit its a bit expensive but it helps support the museum and there are not a lot of quilts in the book, a lot of the quilts in the book though are ones I have not seen before so I am happy I bought it. I just wish they would have used more antique quilts from the time period.
Here is a quilt in the book that I am very inspired by. Look at her use of the American Flag in the border and see them in the baskets randomly? Love that, also love the borders, would love to try this some day.
probably won't show this again till its done, I don't want to bore you with just blocks :)
Hope you find time to sew this week on a project that is really inspiring you.

I will have to check into that book. Looks good and I thank you for sharing it with us.
Not boring at all! Log cabins are always beautiful. I am getting my blog fix in this morning after being away for a week! Glad to see you posted today...always inspiring!
Thank you so much for the link to this book! Your log cabin is a beauty and not remotely boring...
I enjoy seeing how your log cabins grow into a quilt, doesn't bore me. I remember another log cabin you made a number of years ago.
I've always wanted to make a log cabin quilt, and have collected pictures along the way.
So wonderful to see antique versions being revisited.
Bored by log cabin blocks--are you kidding me?
I love the basket quilt with the flags--especially the random placements.
I love the scrappiness of that log cabin cover quilt. And that applique one is gorgeous! Your blocks are stunning.....and we could never be bored by your progress! It gets better and better with each pic!
These little log cabin blocks are beautiful...not boring at all! I love seeing the progress. Thanks for sharing them.
I just looked and found it at our library, so put it on order. Love seeing books that I can get from the library, always fun to look at the pictures and get inspiration.

I'm really enjoying seeing your log cabin blocks so please don't stop showing them.
Not at all bored! Just very envious ;-)
Thanks for the tip on the book. It looks great! Have fun with your log cabin. It's stunning.
You are the source for new quilting books! You have alerted me to so many that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Those flags in the border are great - never have seen that before.
Those little log cabin blocks could never bore! Enjoy seeing your progress.
That book looks fabulous!! The quilt on the cover is really wonderful! I love your log cabins, it's great to see them growing.
I like the blocks very much and I'm not bored at all.
Nice book but didn't see the book on their website. Did you buy it through internet from the museum?

And I love to see all the beautiful different fabrics.

When you get to the borders on BTCT, you can design your own border, you will have 400" of 10" wide space to fill. This would be fab on any appliqued or even on a pieced quilt.
Nice book. I will have to check it out. Your log cabin is coming along nicely. Hugs
I always enjoy your book reviews. I'm going through sewing withdrawals. I brought home an antique log cabin family heirloom that is amazing. Should be able to share soon.
Looks like a very interesting book! I love the history just as much as the inspirational photos of old quilts. Your log cabins are coming along very well!!!
Oh, your log cabin blocks aren't boring at all
One of my favorite patterns and so flexible. I will never get tired of seeing yours.
there is something very comforting about log cabin blocks...I need to make one of those!
Please bore??? me. Love watching it grow.
I can look at it and pretend if I ever made one it would look this wonderful.
Love the look of that quilt on the cover too. Now I'm tempt! No, never bored looking at that lovely logs. I want to make one myself - Hugs Nat
I'm sure there will be a run on that book, just from comments left here. I hope the museum isn't too surprised. I bet they'll be delighted. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Your log cabins are looking good, as the quilt grows. Boring? Never!
Uh Oh, must get that book!!! looks great
Your log cabins look fabulous!!1
Kathie,
I love the quilt on the cover of that book. My kind for sure! Your logs are coming out so nice. Are you enjoying this staying indoors kind of day and getting lot done?
I am going to stick around here for a while and see what you have been up to.
Enjoy your week!
Boring...how can you say that! I can't get enough of these kind of quilts - the more fabrics in them the better they are!
Book looks great. I like your log cabins very much Kathie.
I love your log cabin! The book is great, for the first time in my life I was in Boston last autumn, from there I took the train on a rainy day to Lowell, the museum that had the Homefront and battlefield exposition. They didn't believe I came all the way from Holland just to see these wonderfull quilts!(nor did I)They didn't know my husband had a boring conference and I had one day off!
Kathie, you could never bore me with "just showing blocks". Love what you do!! Looks like a very interesting book.
On your recommendation I'm going to call tomorrow to order this book. I love quilt history books as much as you do!
