The curves are formed by varying the width of the strips; those on the light side are half the width of the dark strips.
The quilt will finish at about 72" square (sometimes they shrink a little after quilting). I decided to forgo a border. I have a couple of different prints reserved for the binding (will decide which to use later) and am creatively piecing the backing. Remember those logs I cut the wrong size? Well, they are coming in handy for the back. I had a large piece of Fig Tree fabric I wanted to use for the back but it was just a little too short to work on its own. So I'm extending it with a pieced inset. It's a bit more work but thrifty and I am liking the look.
Next up: binding the monster size quilt.
I really love your curved log cabin it is so pretty (of course how could it not be with Fig Tree fabric). I think I am going to have to make this thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCathy, that is another quilt of yours that I LOVE! I am dying to see the whole thing. What a beautiful project this is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect quilt to use more of those wonderful Fig Tree fabrics. Using only strips and creating the illusion of curves is a great technique. It would be fun to try. Your quilt looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Cathy...this came out very nice and what a great pattern....can see where I will be starting one of these very soon. Love your colors and great quilt!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I've been considering a log cabin pattern for an upcoming project. I love the look of this curved pattern. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYour log cabins are looking great and I love the curved variation. It makes one wonder -- was someone sitting around one day looking at the log cabin and wondering what would happen if they made half the strips skinny????
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous finish Cathy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations it's fabulous.
Beautiful - love it!
