One Of Each

I like to do a quick post every once in a while so here is another of a quilt, a gravestone and a family photo. 

I made Leftover Logs in 2001 for the Garden State Quilters Guild Challenge. There were--and still are--fabrics that I never quite know what to do with so at the time I decided to use one of them just because . . . 

In this case, it was the graphic print in the borders. All the other fabrics were from my scrap bag.

The back.
