ONLY SIX TO GO

I'm down to six squares -- I've got 42 finished of my log cabin quilt. I'll have them done by the weekend if I don't get sidetracked. One thing I've figured out is that you should not buy your quilt backing for a log cabin quilt until you get at least some of your blocks put together. There are 24 fabrics used in this quilt and I think what I got for the backing is really too busy. It needs to be toned down. The fabric I got has a light background full of tiny flowers. Now I'm thinking that will be way too light. There are a couple of the greens that I really like or even the red that is the center of all the blue and green squares. I think I'm going to see if the store where I bought the fabric still has any of that fabric left. I can use the light for another quilt. Or, maybe, after I get the top made, I'll like the light fabric for the back and won't worry about it any more. Off to bed.
