Aunt Leona's Log Cabin

                    Hello, Hello! Hello!

 It is a lovely day in the holler. The birds are chirping . The sun is shining, and I have a very special project that I am going to be working on. 

A few weeks ago, dear Penny sent me a blessing box filled to the brim with quilty goodness. 

In the box were numerous beautiful  quilt blocks lovingly pieced by her Great Aunt Leona. 🤗❤

There were 26 log cabin blocks in all sorts of prints and patterns. 

Each was foundation pieced on muslin.

Each log cabin block is foundation pieced on muslin. 

 It is such a great honor that sweet Penny gifted me such treasures from her Great Aunt. 

Today I will be measuring and trimming. A log cabin quilt is in my future . I think I will call it Aunt Leona's Log Cabin. ( I hope you don't mind, Penny.)  

Look at those yummy fabrics. Swoon. 🤗

I will keep it short and sweet today. There is some "construction" in progress. Hee! Hee!

I will share the other gifties in future posts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Penny. You are a blessing. 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
