I make a lot of quilt designs and quilts that entail X’s and O’s, hugs and moochies. This is one of my favorite go-to patterns when I need to make a quick and easy quilt for someone specical:

I absolute LOVE <3 Log Cabin quilts. In fact, I love them so much that my wedding quilt is a Log Cabin quilt. And I tied the quilt instead of having it quilted. That plays right into the historical nature of the Log Cabin quilt. Also following along through the Log Cabin quilt history, I have found this quote from “Quick Views:
“A red center symbolized the hearth of home, and a yellow center represented a welcoming light in the window.” from Log Cabin Quilts – A Short History at QuiltViews.com.
In making my own version/vision of a fun Log Cabin quilt for a dear niece, I enjoyed creating “Log Cabin Off Kilter”:

I set our Christmas dinner table with a table runner I had designed and made a number of years ago (Holly Jolly Funtabulous Star Quick Table Runner from BOMquilts.com) and when it was time to put the Christmas decorations away, I realized how much I really loved the size of that table runner for our table. So, I declare that for 2015, I will design and showcase at least six new free table runner patterns on BOMquilts.com.
So let’s start January 2015 with a previous table runner I designed so I can work on a new one for February – and this one is also one of the wider ones I’ve designed, too! This is perfect for non-holiday weeks/months and is so very beginner friendly, with all straight pieces to put together:

Since we will be embarking on a new 2015 block of the month quilt in the coming days, I thought it would be only fitting to flashback on my first block of the month quilt I ever designed from 2006. This quilt will never go out of style, especially if you love traditional piecing as I do, just substitute a light, medium and dark fabric with your own color choices and enjoy the timeless beauty of piecing this quilt.

What a fun and challenging quilt for my 2007 block of the month quilt design from BOMquilts.com was! The design itself was a challenge because there were a lot of squares in the quilt. It was also a challenge because we were living in our camper (two adults, four kids, two dogs). All of my quilting supplies were stored under our bed so I’d get everything I needed out before my husband laid down. Then I would set up my sewing, cutting and ironing stations from the dining area to the living area. To say it was cramped quarters is putting it mildly! But, I did it – and it is still beautiful! Go ahead, have some fun with this Calendar Quilt from BOMquilts.com!
