I made great progress on the feed sack quilt. I now have 33% of it quilted.
A couple of the bags had some damage I had to deal with. The bottom of this bag was ripped so I cut that off and pieced together some scraps of the extra bag. I trimmed the ripped area and pieced in to fill the area.
The chicken feed bag is a thin fabric and there was a hole in the bag. I wanted to lose as little of the bag so I patched the hole with a piece that I had cut off. The piece I cut off was full of holes. At the lower left there are three small holes. I plan on darning those with some free motion stitching.
The top is 67" x 84". I am meander free motion stitching and outline stitching the letters and motifs. I used off white for the backing which I wish now I would have dyed a pale tea dye color. The backing looks too new.

that has to feel good to have the blue log cabin done and clean!
I didn't realize the feed sack quilt was going to be so big.
Congratulations on a big finish! You had a very productive weekend so obviously you weren't out enjoying your new car. ;)
Very inventive log cabin, especially the borders. It's so striking.
OMG this is the best quilt!
I like the way you are tackling the little flaws - all the mends will just add character.
