Throwback Thursday; Log Cabin Quilt
I made this hand quilted Log Cabin quilt in 1990. It's been well used over the years and some of the fabric around the edge is getting raggy looking. The other day I reinforced the frayed parts with machine zigzag stitching. The quilt is queen size, I folded it in quarters for the photo. At one time I appliqued a heart over a small tear at the edge. "Keep repairing and keep using" is my motto. When a quilt gets to the point where it can no longer be repaired, then it can be used for a pet bed. :)
