Machine pieced in 2013 by Laurie Gorton, Overland Park, KS. Machine quilted in 2013 by Lyn Heilman of Quilted Memories LLC, Overland Park, KS. Owners: Matthew and Jessica Krawiec, Woodridge, IL. When the first of my six nieces announced her engagement at Christmas last year, I offered to make her and her betrothed a quilt. After a bit of discussion, Jessica settled on the log cabin design – the same pattern I used for my first quilt: a baby quilt celebrating her birth. Jessica wanted blue and tan with a touch of red. Also, many of the quilts in the family of her mother (my sister) are log cabin designs. I was able to complete the top in time for the wedding in mid-June and showed it to them at the picnic held after the rehearsal. Matthew figured out the ribbon design first. I requested it be quilted with the Baptist Fan pattern because it suited the original design but mostly because Jessica’s new husband is an associate pastor at a local Baptist Church. They will receive the finished quilt on Monday after the Fine Art of Fiber 2013 closes.
