Nearly Random Acts of Color Log Cabin Quilt

Description

I just love Log Cabin quilts, and had a lot of fun creating this one. It is a nearly random color and fabric choice due to the fact that all the rotary cut strips were put into paper bags (light bag, dark bag) and drawn out without looking. I think it's safe to say it is also a Charm Quilt, as I don't think I used the same fabric twice.

In most cases I went with the chosen strip, and only 3 or 4 times did I actually look to choose a color better suited to the block I was making. Thus the "nearly" random colors.

This OOAK quilt measures 56" x 68", a perfect size to use as a topper on a full sized bed, or as a regular quilt on a dorm bed or a twin. The center square, or hearthstone, is a 1" square, and all the strips are 1"wide.

The blocks are arranged in an off-center Barn Raising pattern, since I am not that fond of symmetrical placements.

All fabrics are 100% cotton, the batting is cotton "Warm and Natural", and it was machine quilted by Judi Irish of "Wild Irish Rows", a professional quilter now located in Oregon.

The back has a variety of fabrics used as well, due to the fact that I prefer interesting backs, rather than plain...boring!! Sure, it's more work, but it's a lot more fun to look at!

US shipping is Priority Flat Rate with Delivery Confirmation and insurance.

Outside the US shipping will probably be First Class International, but I will have to check to be sure the weight fits the restrictions.
