Wonky Log Cabin Quilt

Another finish from the UFO list - hurrah!

Hometown Log Cabin Pram Quilt

Last year at the Fat Quarterly Retreat I started this quilt in Quilt Dad's Wonky Log Cabin class.  The 2 blocks I made went in the UFO pile until I decided that the colours were neutral enough to make into a pram or play mat quilt for the baby.  A jelly roll of Sweetwater Hometown pretty much made exactly 9 blocks which makes the quilt 36" square (or as square as my quilts ever are!)

Hometown Log Cabin Quilt Back

The back is an Ikea print and the binding is more Hometown in a blue/grey stripe.  I quilted it in the wavy straight line quilting I have used before here, here and here.  It takes a while but I love the effect and it makes for a robust quilt - especially good for a play mat quilt.

  5. Ooh I love it! I have a layer cake of this line, and I'd kind of fallen out of love with it, but this has perked me up again!
