My Log Cabin Mini

Have you heard about the new quilt magazine called Curated Quilts?  Their initial magazine is not yet available but I'm excited about their new offering.

For each issue, it appears they put a call out for mini-quilts to be featured and provide a prompt and color palette to make sure they have a unifying theme for the feature.  Read more about it here.  For the next issue, the prompt is log cabin.

I wanted to experiment with using log cabin technique on triangles.

What fun I had quilting this one!  Adding color to the binding really made a difference in the finished quilt.

My mini finishes at 10 1/2 '' square.

I'll be linking up here plus Freemotion by the River,   WIP Wednesday's,  Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers.  Needle and Thread Thursdays, Finish it Up Friday and Finished or Not Friday.

Have a wonderful day! Patty
