I love the quilt. I saw McDaniels quilt and fell in love with it. I found the same material at Hobby Lobby but I chose to make another color but wished I had made the one like you all did. I just made a throw for a friend who was ill. I love your quilt, you did a WONDERFUL job. My first quilt ever was also a log Cabin quilt. I love that pattern so easy to make and so fun. I just can't wait to see your finished quilt. Please post. You did good.

Your quilt is beautiful!!! I am doing the same pattern. Plan to put a narrow dark border followed by the matching lite color in a wide border. Then will applique a few large daisies in the wide border. Good luck.....show us again when finished. You are doing a great job!!!! :-D

I did that on a baby quilt I made - top & bottom borders were not as wide as on the sides - it still looked fine, and I certainly didn't hear any of that mentioned when it was presented to the recipient. She loved it!

Nicely done!

Finish by scalloping the 3 edges and bind in the rose on all 4 sides. I have a quilt like this that I bought.
