F-3 Snowball

AKA a Wacky Log Cabin quilt.

When this quilt is sitting across your lap or draped over a chair, one sees only stripes of brightly cheerful florals. But look a little closer and it starts to become apparent that something’s… not quite right. This riff on a very traditional log cabin pattern throws all the lines just a *bit* off parallel, mixing a dash of amusing chaos into the strictly ordered concentric rings.  Fabric is Pop Garden and Bijoux by Heather Bailey.

This was a custom order through Etsy. All finished and off to the post office tomorrow.

No. 002 — Modern Rose Garden

Inspired in part by the art of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, the Modern Rose Garden quilt begins with simple rectangles and composes them into an eye-catching formal garden of interlocking lines. It can be brought alive with nearly any fabric line – and, if you’re willing to fussy cut, can beautifully highlight any designs they feature, large or small. You can use whatever fabric catches your fancy, whether modern or traditional – or you can just use scraps you’ve collected from previous quilts! Finished quilt measures 62″ x 62″.
