Lately, I've been playing around with the log cabin block, experimenting with scale, color placement, and improvisational piecing. This quilt is the first result of my efforts: an oversized log cabin baby quilt. I selected a simple color palette of navy, cream, and peach for the quilt, using American-made solids for the top.
Wanting to maintain the quilt's simplicity, I quilted it with a grid, using cream thread.
The back, a super soft Nani Iro double gauze, is my favorite part. It's so soft and squishy! For the binding, I used Bonnie Christine fabric left over from my circles and triangles wall quilt.
This quilt will be available at The Maker's Waypost, a new shop in Whitinsville, MA, which opens Saturday, November 28. The shop will be carrying a number of my one-of-a-kind quilts and patchwork pillows, so be sure to stop by if you're in the neighborhood!
This is lovely Caitlin, it's so graphic and elegant. I actually work in Sutton so I'll probably be stopping by Maker's Waypoint all too often once they open up! I'll be sure to tell this quilt you said hi when I see it :)
