#3: Wonky Cabin
Finished: 1/22/12
Techniques: Off-Center Log Cabin Design
Size: 16" square
Description:
A few years back, a friend gave me tubs and tubs of batik strips of all colors. Most of the strips are between one and four inches wide and they are very uneven. They are beautiful pieces of fabric, and I have trouble throwing away fabric of any kind. I found several pieces of the aqua or turquoise to work with and paired them with several purples. Some strips were not batik, but fit in with the color scheme. Because the strips were uneven to begin with, a wonky design was the way to go. Instead of a traditional red center, (and this certainly isn't a traditional log cabin design anyway) I chose a bright yellow for the center square. Quilting was done by stitching in the ditch.
