I am making this in the
potholder method whereby each step has to be quilted and bound before I can add
the next border. The center and first border are hand quilted. I work in a
marina/boatyard and July is our busiest month so I was so very thankful to Cathy
for choosing something that I could do on the machine relatively easily. I took
it a step further by simplifying the “log cabin” into simple “logs” along the
sides with 4 little log cabin corner blocks.
Since I sort of cheated on
the sides, I backed the strips with a “cheater cloth” print. Then I used a vintage cowboy feedsack to back
my corner blocks as it had an image of a sweet little cabin on it. Had to get
those log cabins in there somewhere!
I used the background fabric
from my center for binding to add a little continuity to this jumble!
Katy (Katy Quilts) has chosen “stars” for
our next go round. I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with it! I
am amazed at all your creativity! Please visit Katy Quilts to view the rules
and see all the wonderful work.
I’m still having fun this one
and I hope you are too!
I have so much to post about our annual show that ended yesterday, but no time this week to post. Do check out Cyndi's blog (Busy Thimble) as she will be posting too. More to come.
coming along nicely wendy...and oooh the quilts were gorgeous...i love the colors in yours and know the workmanship is superb....
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation of my theme of Log Cabins. Can't wait to see what you do next. Hugs.
ReplyDeletewhat a great log interpretation! the backing fabric is great!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is fabulous and I love seeing it evolve! The way you placed the corner log cabins gives that border a curved corner look - I love it! And, the back is so special!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my...I don't know if my choice goes to the top or the back ! I love them both !
ReplyDeleteAwesome work as usual Wendy !
I like that you took the stripe background fabric from the center medallion and incorporated it into your border. Lots of interest.
ReplyDeleteI love those touches of the stripey background - so much movement is added! And I'm in awe of that potholder method...
ReplyDeleteThe logs are not cheating! That was a great interpretation for a busy month.
ReplyDeleteClever logs!! I really love the look of your potholder method. I'm so enjoying watching this quilt grow!!
ReplyDeleteYour logs are bright and fun with the striped fabric surrounding each one. It's a wonderful interpretation.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful work, love your potholder method XXX
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant -- love the logs with the striped fabric, and your potholder method is so cool. In a couple of months, we'll all have a top to quilt, and you'll be done!
ReplyDeleteI think your potholder logs are the perfect frame for your center. Love that cheater fabric too!
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated with your potholder technique. Your quilt will be done before you know it! Great borders and backing :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! Yours will be a two sided quilt with the way you are making it. I can't quite wrap my head around the potholder method, but you make it look good!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Wendy - your work is so inspiring! Love the stripe sashing in there!
ReplyDeleteWonderful interpretation of the log cabins! I like when the prompt is open to different ideas. Your potholder method is intriguing. You'll be completely done when the last border is done - very clever of you! Love those stripes in there!
ReplyDeleteFun to use just the logs and then tuck the cabins in the corners.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful already. You could stop there and have a wonderful quilt. I'm so tickled for you that with each theme your quilt looks finished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great interpretation for the log cabin round. I really like the striped border between each log.
