I'm still learning some basics, so after the triangles I decided to try a log cabin block.
For
the cousin of the previously mentioned trio, who is two years, I wanted her's to have a lot of bright
colors and some good patterns in the blocks. I found this log cabin tutorial
on Crazy Mom Quilts and bought a bright green and some purple and pink
prints that matched the second fat quarter bundle I had from Purl Soho.
This
was a fun quilt to put together, although cutting all the little pieces
was definitely more time consuming than I thought it would be. I also
decided that I didn't want to cut up the green mum print in to
little squares, so I modified the blocks to have a larger center
piece. This also let me have some fun with the layout and to rotate the
blocks to give it a little more interest. I used the mum print for the binding and did some piecing from scraps on the back.
A very fun and colorful quilt for a very fun and energetic little girl!
Finished size: 40" x 48"
