This quilt was created by my sister. The log cabin blocks have strips of various widths and sizes for a wonky effect. She is the Queen of Wonk and Scraps. So, how the heck do you quilt this?? Well, I thought about the light verses dark areas and decided to highlight the contrast with different textures. And I wanted to be able to quilt the whole row of dark areas and light areas in one complete pass- without having to stop, cut the thread, reposition the machine, do another section, stop, repeat a thousand times. It takes me forever. Me no likey.
I did loopy loops in the dark, and a more linear design in the light. Can you see in the dark area how I squeaked through to the next section? In the border I practiced my feathers. I use the "Hooked on Feathers" technique by Sally Terry. I really like her method and how there is very little backtracking. I am lucky that my sister is not too particular and that she lets me use her quilts as guinea pigs for new designs. And she makes quite a few of them! Keep 'em comin!
