Off-center Log Cabin quilt

2/19/2017

Today, I found this post that I had started  on February 19, but never finished it!  but, better late than never...

This week I had the time to quilt my off center logcabin quilt. It's not bound yet, but it is quilted!
Picture
I started this quilt in November 2014 at a quilting retreat with the goal of trying out a new ruler.
I started by making the nine blocks that are yellow and white.
It didn't seem very big, so I decided to make more blocks. I didn't have that many yellow fabrics left, so that's when I pulled out the blue fabrics.
Picture
when I finally completed all the blocks, and sewed the top together, I really liked the way it looked. I knew that the large white spaces would have to have some special quilting in them to enhance the design.
I spent many nights trying out ideas in my head while waiting to fall asleep.

On Monday when I loaded the quilt, the only plan I was sure of was that I wanted to stitch in the ditch and echo stitch the seams where the white and colored sections met.
After that, I decided to stitch feathered wreaths surrounded by stipple quilting in the white areas. I just used a blue wash away marker and some round rulers to mark the center vein of the wreath, and where the outside limit would be. then, I spent some happy hours stitching wreaths.

I love doing feathered wreaths. 
This is an overall view,

Note, April 24,
well, this quilt has been bound now, in turquoise fabric, and even washed to get more crinkly!
I have also explored feathers much more since then, but I am still pretty happy on how this quilt turned out!

The design of this sheet is really eye catching and I am sure that they are useful for the renovation. From such ideas we are able to get better view of any place without spending huge amount of money.

These sheets are giving a whole new look to place where you have been talking about in this post. It sure seems to be a good alternative to be used when you are willing to get a new look at any place.
