No new creation to show today, but yesterday I spent the morning with other quilters for a presentation of 9-patch block/quilts. Gosh, that lady, Judy Gasseling, was wonderful! The things she came up with for all the hundreds of her 9-patches! Such a variety of examples! Her joy and wit, along with her many king-size 9-patch quilts, was so inspiring! I came home fired up to sew.This is a small quilt I made many years ago. The border fabric with the little flowers is still one of my favorites. This is an early machine quilting project and the first off-center log cabin I made. The dark strips finish at one inch and the narrow yellow strips finish at 1/2 inch. It is machine quilted between the yellow strips with invisible thread, probably a new experience for me at the time, and stitched 1/4 inch to each side of the seam on the dark pieces - not too original, but hey, it works!
Those narrow yellow strips really pucker up! Look how the stripe near the center looks like a flag (quite by accident).
another inspiration, please never stop. :)
ReplyDeleteA pretty quilt indeed. Your work is always perfection.
ReplyDeleteI love those off-center log cabin quilts...probably more so than "normal" log cabin quilts. They have so much character...and yours speaks loudly with character and charm. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love log cabin quilts and yours are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful log cabin quilt!

Log cabin is one of my favorites. I love how it changes with just a turn of the block, & color placement.
ReplyDeleteYour making me want to cut some strips and do another log cabin!!!
ReplyDeleteWish I could have come out for the quilt day, but neighbors auction was on Saturday. I've seen Judy's quilts and they are great, she is quite a gal.
What a perfectly lovely log cabin! I love yellow.
