Yeahhh - it's done! It turned out so much better than it looked when only a quilt top! Quilting DOES make the quilt. This starts out as a traditionial Log Cabin, but with some manipulation, I call it a ReBuilt Log Cabin. Look at that unexpected zig-zag effect. On the lower photo, you'll see the bunch of nearly ugly fabrics that were used. The sandwiching was done last Sunday, and it was finished Friday night. The border, (Jewel Box, or Buckeye Beauty blocks) works well as a border, but I'm not sure it 'goes' with this quilt. However, the entire project is quirky enough to be OK.
Look at some of my nearly-uglies used.
I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh Elaine - this is not ugly at all but really quite stunning!
ReplyDeleteLynn
I really like how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely beautiful! You are right. The quilting can make or break a pieced top. Some of mine have been broken by the quilting...
ReplyDeleteYour quilts...EVERY SINGLE ONE!! are just gorgeous! I love the quilting you added...I do truly believe that your quilting makes the quilt. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And with the lights it is almost like snow topped log cabins!
ReplyDeleteElaine, this is great! I love the way the log cabins look like they've been twisted.
ReplyDeleteI like this too, Elaine. You do a great job, and using the "uglies" the way you did makes them look great!
ReplyDeleteIt's a stunning quilt! (Ugly fabric included). Quilting and binding make such a difference, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job, Elaine! I agree with the others---the proper word for this quilt is 'stunning'! :) Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern you created is so interesting, especially done in scrappy style. So much to look at. It really holds the eye. I certainly don't find any uglies in there! Just beautiful. I just love all the motifs you use in your quilting. I always get great ideas from you.
ReplyDeleteThis is a winner. It has a lot of movement. As for uglies, I think it's all in the way they blend together to make beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out wonderful! Congratulations on a great finish!
ReplyDeletewowza! The "rebuilt log cabin" with the buckeye beauty border is not just OK - it's marvelous through and through!
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern for this design? This is really cool and I'd love to try it out with my scraps.
