I am so very excited to share my finished Cabin Among the Stars Quilt and the Free Cabin Among the Stars PDF with it!!!! I know you have all been patiently waiting for me to finish this up, which makes it all the more fun to share it. Didn't it just turn out so incredible, I love it!!!
This quilt is made with 2 simple blocks. The first block is a basic Sawtooth Star made in a Light and and Dark layout. And of course, I use the No Waste Flying Geese method to make those stars ;) And the second block is a basic Log Cabin block, alternating dark and light prints. Both blocks are super easy to make, and this quilt is an amazing stash buster!!! It's nothing but scraps!!!
I choose to use scraps in all neutrals. The lights are neutrals in whites and cremes and the darks are neutrals in black, greys, and browns. I have been wanting to make an all neutral quilt for sometime, and I have to say, I just love the way it turned out and can't wait to make another one!!! And double bonus, I can now close my grey, brown, and black scraps drawers that were overflowing ;)
When it came time to quilt it, I decided on an all over Open Centered Swirl. I quilted on a slightly larger scale than I usually do so it went really fast and was oh so much fun to quilt. I used my favorite 402 So Fine which blended perfectly into the low volume background and still blended great on the darker prints. Have I mentioned how much I love 402, and I broke into my last spool with this quilt, time for another thread order :)
And isn't that just an awesome texture!!! And I love how this angle really shows off the "stripe" design of how the log cabin blocks are set around the stars. So fun!!!
And I have to just share my new favorite backings!!! Ombre Wide Backs!!! They are so great. I love the gentle change of color, and not having to piece a back for a queen size quilt just makes me do a happy dance. And I love how the thread pops in the black parts and blends in the grey parts, so fun :)
So now, it's your turn to make your own Cabin Among the Stars Quilt. I am toying with the idea of doing another one in the fall for a quilt along, but we will see. I am pretty sure that once you all have the PDF, you will be just like me, and not want to wait to whip up this great stash buster!!!
I made the Queen/King size, but I included 5 size options in the
Cabin Among the Stars Free PDF. Here is the details of what you will need and the finished sizes for each of the 5 quilt options.
I hope you enjoy this free
