perspica's Gallery : Log Cabin

Browns and Black

My adaptation of Elisa Wilson's quilt featured in a Hoffman ad from last year. I thought it would be easy like a log cabin using strips, but noooo, the directional strips tried to get all wonky on me. But it did satisfy my desire to work with browns. I played with different household items for dying fabric last year. The quilt still smells a bit like celery and bay.

It's All Cool

Inspired by Completely Cauchie - I have huge amounts of scraps, much already in 2-4 inch strips, plus odds and ends from pattern projects.

So I pulled out all the cool colors to create my own new fabric to strip. This was fun, but now it must be quilted. ... - just going to do stich in the ditch and knock it out.
