FayIlene Log Cabin Variation Quilt - Even though I have been around quilting most of my life, I decided I wanted to start quilting as my personal hobby. The first book I purchased was "Start Quilting with Alex Anderson." I read the book from beginning to end and made many of the projects she published in that book. Because this block was so easy and fun to make, I made two quilt tops at the same time. The second one I sent to my friend in Japan.
