Three-quarters of this fabric came from a Lori Holt “Baked
with Love” quilt kit. The other twenty-five percent is scraps from a Lori Holt
Prim fat quarter bundle and a Lori Holt Mad for Plaid jelly roll. The design is
completely my own, and it’s the product of serendipity. I knew I wanted to make
a log cabin quilt. It’s usually the direction I steer when I have lots of long,
skinny strips to use up. I wanted to incorporate sawtooth stars as well. Initially,
I stuck stars inside the log cabins, but didn’t like the result. I moved the
stars to the cornerstones BETWEEN the log cabins, and everything seemed to fall
into place. In a day or two, this top will go to Stitching Hearts Worldwide,
where some generous and talented person(s) will quilt and bind it, and it will
go to a refugee or homeless person. I hope they love it as much as I do.
