Each block is 12"finished, with the middle block's final round of logs being the same colour as the sashing so as to look a bit different from the rest.
The middle square of each log cabin is somewhere between 2.5"-3.5", and the surrounding logs anywhere from 1"-3" wide. Most of the block are made up of 3 rounds of logs, but a few have 4 rounds.
Quilting wise I stitched around each centre square and the first lot of logs about 1/8" outside the seam line and then stitched in the ditch around each block.
The back was supposed to be a red spotty fabric, but after washing it many times & it still running I gave that idea up. So a blue spot it ended up being instead, with a line of owls to tie it into the front. I like how the quilting worked on the back, symmetry with the outlining of each of the 12" blocks but then a bit of unevenness with the smaller squares inside each block.
All wrapped up and ready for delivery:)
Here are my other quilts using the Moda Bungle Jungle fabric line. They have all turned out so differently.
A floating blocks design
and a more traditionally style one.
It took me YEARS to work out that the name of a quilt (eg Log Cabin Quilt) didn't mean that there had to be actual pictures of 'log cabins' on it.... doh... :) Love your work friend and your love that you turn into practically beautiful things for your friends. mwah!
