Angel Fire Dreamin'

Angel Fire Dreamin'

This is a log cabin quilt that I worked out how to do after seeing a picture of a similar log cabin quilt in Judy Martin's "The Creative Pattern Book".  The dark half of each block is made of 1" finished logs, and the light half of each block is made of 2" finished squares.  Except when they meet in the middle - those are 1" squares.  I wracked my brain to work out the block.  And then, that wasn't complicated enough so I had to throw in 9 stars that were also worked into 9 of the blocks.  Then the top hung around for about a year, and I wracked my brain some more and figured out how to do the border.  I worked on the whole project on-and-off for about two years.

The name comes from the fact that Jim and I had bought some property in Angel Fire, New Mexico.  I thought about that while I was making the blocks.  Maybe some day it will be on a bed in a log cabin in Angel Fire!
