The Curvy Log Cabin Quilt is finished and I am really pleased with how it turned out. I love process piecing, the kind that requires many of the same blocks to be made, so this was indeed a labor of love. Late nights at the sewing machine with coffee close by!

For the back of the quilt I have used a single red polka dot fabric on a white background from the Delilah collection by Tanya Whelan ~  a classic "can't go wrong with a polka dot" fabric.

Quilted with edge to edge straight lines (the majority of which are stitched in the ditch), creating an all over grid the width of which varies as the width of the fabric strips vary.  I have used my favorite black/white stripe fabric for the binding for a clean/sharp look.

This is project number 40 for 2014! I don't usually keep count of the number of quilts that I make each year but I do back up and store images both online and offline, and at the end of each calendar year the images are sorted and organized in folders etc. Forty folders = forty projects. Lots of stitching. It has been a busy and creative year!
