Log cabin top complete

Well I completed the top of my log cabin quilt back on the 18th March. I put the borders on one night in a marathon sewing frenzy. I guess finishing quilt tops can send your emotions in all directions and for me I was a blabbering mess. When I am making any of my quilting projects I feel very connected to how the person whom I am giving it to will feel when they see the end result. In this instance the receiver would be my Dad and Step-Mum, Billie. Unfortunately Billie passed away at Easter on Good Friday so never got to see the finished quilt top. Knowing that she would never get to see her quilt, I took lots of photos and sent these in the post with every single fabric that I used. The quilt has yet to be quilted and when that is complete I am sure I feel emotional all over again.
