A Log Cabin

Early days in my quilting Journey: Using log cabin blocks to create a medallion effect and concentrating on the graphic effect of the barn raising layout.

Blue and white are always a traditional and refreshing combination. Once again I was forced to find a coordinating fabric for the outer border as my original amounts were not sufficient to make a quilt large enough for our bed. All part of the learning journey and pushing me more and more toward using multiple fabrics and back to where I started making quilts from remnants of hand made clothes.

This quilt was machine pieces and hand quilted

Even though my choice was to work in blue and white, I was fascinated by the tradition of building the block around a central square, representing the hearth and warmth of the home.
