My Show Quilt for 2014

I don’t have a lot of time to work on my own quilts these days but I do try to do at least one quilt a year to put in a show.

For this year my quilt is a log cabin quilt based on a Cozy Comfort pattern by Phyllis Paul of Cozy Quarters  http://designsbycozyquarters.com   It’s the second log pattern quilt design of theirs that I modified the borders on and I love their designs!

When you put quilts in a show you have to name them – for this quilt I had picked out fabrics during the 2013 VT Shop Hop and worked on piecing the quilt through the quilting retreats I did in 2013.  The day I started quilting it I received a call with a job offer from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (now known as Keurig Green Mountain) and in a flash the name came to me…. the colors of this quilt are the colors of the GMCR logo…. hence the name “Coffee in the Cabin”.

This is the first show quilt I have done using my new computerized system IntelliQuilter (IQ) and it is about 55% computerized and 45% custom free motion for the quilting.
