This was one of the those quick projects that took me ages to finish.  The colors are not ones I usually work with so I had a difficult time deciding how the blocks should work together.  I shuffled them around so many times.  I kind of hated it and then I loved it.

The heart of each log cabin block was part of a panel that I cut up and then edged with wonky bands of tone on tone orange, green, blue, and gold.  The orange is a cross hatch print, while the others are silhouettes of leaves.

The extra spaces around the blocks and the binding are a coordinating brown print that I think looks like little bees buzzing around, but is actually tiny airplanes.  I quilted it with gold thread in vertical straight lines.

The back is big, wide bands of the coordinating colors that I used on the front. 

I think it makes for a great baby quilt.  I'm happy that in the end I powered through and kept working on this one.  It would have been a shame to let it sit on a shelf unfinished simply because it was bit frustrating in the middle of making it.

It will be listed soon.

I made this quilt for my cousin who was married this past Saturday.

The orange print is from Denyse Schmidt's Daisy Mae line for Joanns. I was lucky enough to get a several yards on super clearance when my local Joann store was in the process of moving. The background fabric, Kona pepper, blends in perfectly with the background in the print.

I wanted to hang on to the minimalist feel, so it's channel quilted with black thread spaced 1 inch apart.

It's backed with Kona oyster so while the quilting lines blend into the front, they stand out on the back.

I love the bold pattern on the front mixed with the bold quilting on the back.
