Hey there, y'all! Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday. Today, I have a brand new quilt finish to share, and it's so fun and happy!
If you missed my last post, these log cabin blocks were made entirely from scraps of varying width. I just kept adding strings until they were 13" square, and then pressed them, quartered them, and shuffled them. The result is wonderfully busy and loud, and lots of fun.
For the main backing fabric, I chose a medium gray polka dot fabric. I just love the way that black and gray look with scrappy quilts, and the small polka dots keep the quilt fun, without looking overly busy.
Every time I bind a quilt, I end up with extra binding pieces. Sometimes they're short, and sometimes I end up with a piece that is almost a full strip. As it turns out, I had plenty of leftover binding pieces to completely bind this quilt, and it perfectly disappears into all that scrappiness.
I'm calling this one Fractured Logs, which is perhaps not my most creative name, but it's definitely descriptive of the pattern. The finished quilt measures 60" x 72".
Okay then, friends! Let's take a look at a few of the amazing projects linked up at last week's party! Sew Preeti Quilts shared this pretty finish-
Alrighty, y'all, let's get this party started!
1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your
post.
4. Spread the comment love far and wide!
5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!
*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)

So much scrappy goodness.
ReplyDeleteGreat solution for the shorter strips--make 1/4 square log cabins! Scrappy fun finish, Kelly!!! Thank you for featuring my jelly roll scrap quilts, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, making smaller blocks with the leftover scraps was the perfect choice for the backing! I love the way your binding scraps work so well, too. Thanks for sharing my ombre' finish from last week. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever!!! Both the front and the back look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun-to-make, and happy quilt to put together. I'm always in favor of using-up scraps, and this one does it beautifully! Of course I love the strip of blocks down the back, and as you pointed out, the polka dot print is perfect. Scrappy binding too.. you couldn't go wrong with that, nor the useful size the quilted turned out to be. Good for you! I bet your scrap bins have lowered nicely.
ReplyDeleteLove the Fractured logs quilt!!! So bright and happy!
