Progress

Progress seems achingly slow 'round these parts. But I did manage to piece a back for the minimalistic log cabin quilt I showed you several days ago, using the same interweave chambray in pepper that I used on the front. Instead of the cabin logs being neutrals - this time they are all bright solids, and all scraps - thus the random use of color.



Since the logs on the front of the quilt were quite skinny, I decided to make the ones on the back chunkier, and I'm regretting that choice. Still, I moved forward with quilting, and now I'm working on binding this piece up. Already I know it's not turning into quite what I had seen in my mind's eye at the start, but so it goes ....

Linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday and W.i.P. Wednesday.

  1. While it may not be what you had in your mind's eye, it's lovely. Can't wait to see the finished product. I am working on my third scrapvortex quilt (baby size) and my scraps look like they haven't been touched! I think scraps go further than yardage...

  2. These totally have the same feel as the others though. And sometimes projects go where they want :)

  7. Sometimes they don't turn out as we planned, but they always teach a lesson. I am enjoying seeing the multiple versions of this concept. Happy stitching.

  8. I really like this one! It's always a risk when doing improv, what's in our head doesn't always translate! When that happens I usually keep going...you never know and I'm excited to see this finished!!
