- on the design floor
- I've got a bundle of FQ solids that I've been trying to team up with my florals,
sometimes blending, sometimes not so much!
There's quite a few things that I’ve really enjoyed about making these scrappy 14 1/2" log cabin blocks ... finding a few hidden treasures amongst the fabric strips & leftovers that I've used in other projects over the last couple of years ... love mixing up this scrappy combination from different designers & collections to make my quilt unique ... I’m super happy with the contrast of the multi-coloured prints vs the plains ... and finally, it feels great to finish a quilt top in a week!
Gosh, this is lovely Linda! In fact everything you make is lovely! The colours and large graphic blocks are perfect together!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Linda! I read your previous post and I had seen the one made by Rachel and fell for the design immediately. I was hooked by the fact that only two colours were needed in one half of the cabin block, especially that solids are used, also like the size of the block. Yours is so very cheery.
ReplyDeletelove your log cabin will you hand quilt it or have it machine quilted
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. If a shop made up this colourway in a kit, I would buy it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it quilted.
Beautiful pairings of solids and prints in this one!! Lovely big blocks--so graphic! hugs for a great weekend Julierose
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty blocks! And that colorful stack of solids has me drooling. You sure worked-up this quilt top quickly! So it's about 56" square, right? That's a nice lap quilt size, or a couch throw. Good for you to work so quickly. I'm not nearly as fast as you.
ReplyDeleteYou have some very pretty fabrics. You also have a good eye for mixing them and then placing the blocks in just the right place. A true artist.
ReplyDeleteI think this is very beautiful! You have sweet scraps and this makes a wonderful show on the bed. Kudos for such a great finish!
ReplyDeleteI just love this - so pretty and dynamic.
ReplyDeleteI would love this on my bed! I forget to work with larger strips... we have a king bed.
ReplyDeleteLove it

Love your quilt! I also very much enjoy mixing solids, or tone-on-tones that read like solids, with prints. Very effective!
ReplyDeleteI've made many log cabins but never thought to alternate fabrics and mix with solids like this. It's very lovely. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteJust love the quilt
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I don't think I have nearly enough solids to make a go of it, though.

This is a fabulous log cabin quilt. So striking! I just love the solids mixed with the prints to give a little more oomph!:)
