| Improvised Quarter Log Cabin Quilt featuring Loominous by Anna Maria Horner |
A continuation of a recent theme ~ Quarter Log Cabin Blocks ~ but this time big blocks, unstructured and as free form as I can manage, for improvised is not my preferred piecing style. Having said that, once I got started and cut into my bundle of fabric, I thoroughly immersed myself in the process, and truly loved every moment.

I really wanted to make a quilt to feature these beautiful yarn dyed fabrics, and my challenge was to make the most of the limited fabric that I had on hand (a fat quarter bundle), whilst balancing the colors of the simple and large scale blocks.
These yard dyed fabrics are exquisite and aptly named Loominous. I have added detail to the fabric and the quilt by quilting edge to edge vertical lines, irregularly spaced, and with thread that varied both in color and in weight (for top thread I have used either 50 weight or 28 weight thread, and for bobbin thread I have used 50 weight thread throughout).
For the back of the quilt I have used a single fabric from the Mochi Collection by Rashida Coleman Hale for Cotton + Steel, which complements the colors of the quilt perfectly.
And the binding is pieced from strips of fabric trialled and discarded during the design process as well as smaller leftover pieces of fabric. I do love a scrappy binding.
As always, thank you for stopping by,
Rita
