Fields and Furrows ~ Log Cabin Quilt
Quilt measures 48 inches x 48 inches.
25 log cabin blocks each measuring
10 inches x 10 inches (including seam allowances).
[center square 2.5" x 2.5" - width of strips 1.75" - incl. seam allowances]
[center square 2.5" x 2.5" - width of strips 1.75" - incl. seam allowances]
It's finished! Despite some initial doubts about the layout of the blocks I am ever so pleased with how this quilt turned out. With many possible layout options available I do think that this layout is really effective - strong diagonal lines created by the use of contrasting fabric and fabric placement.
I like the use of the many shades of background/solid fabric to add interest and detail; subtle variations in tone that are difficult to capture in a photograph and more obvious to the eye in the actual quilt. (I have used Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in shades of white and off-white including the following colorways: White, Snow, Butter, Natural, Sand, Ivory, Oyster, Bone, and Cream).
For the back of the fabric I have used a single fabric from the Tiger Lily collection by Heather Ross (Butterflies in Cream). The colors and tone of this fabric complement the color palette of the quilt perfectly!

For the quilt binding I have used Squared Elements in Rosewater by Art Gallery Fabrics; a soft pink fabric that finishes this quilt with a subtle frame.
This quilt was sold prior to listing in my store.
