My first log cabin
Just finished the quilt top. I machine pieced this with carefully cut 1 1/2" strips, and I think if I do this pattern again, I'll foundation piece it like I was supposed to. Or maybe get a real 1/4" foot for my machine, because eyeballing it yields inconsistent results.
I do like the way the color gradations worked out, though. This is using the same batch of fabrics that I used for the "faded fences" rail fence quilt I did a while back.
The yellows are not this orange in real life, and the reds aren't right on the monitor, either.
I'm thinking the next log cabin will use a more traditional pattern than this one. I like the almost infinite variety of patterns you can make with this design, and I know I'm not done playing with them yet.
