 Design Concept
I have always loved traditional log cabin quilts, but wasn’t interested in making one in a traditional way. This quilt was constructed like a traditional log cabin except that none of the blocks are square. Instead of using a rectangular grid I drew lines at various angles so the blocks became quadrilaterals of different sizes and shapes.
The center fabric squares are a commercial novelty print, and the other fabrics used in this quilt are all from the “Gradations” collection, which I designed for Benartex.
Below are some basic instructions written for a workshop I taught
in 2000, which will explain how the piecing was done. Click here
