Could use some ideas for a quilt for my cabin.
#1
I have bought some fabric called Holly Taylor Classics. It's beautiful! I want to make a log cabin quilt with it for my cabin and would like your input on how to do this. I am posting a pic of the fabric that I bought and the way that they have it in the picture I like this design of quilt. Is it considered a log cabin quilt or something else? Also, I'm not really sure on how to color arrange the blocks if I do it a different way other than how the picture looks. Does anyone know of where I could see a picture of a quilt done with this fabric? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim!
Yes, it could be considered a log cabin the way they have it - I would suggest getting a pattern for one though, make it easier on yourself. You could do the same color scheme though.
The more seams you do, the more fabric you use. I'd make as many blocks as you can, and then see :-D
Do a google search, or make a sample block or two.
Good luck!

So should I do like the tan as the light side on all those colors and buy some more tan to go with the other colors since there wouldnt' be enough or how would you do it?
I too like a log cabin that is lights on one side and darks on the other. So many possiblities with layouts then. Those fabrics will make a great log cabin quilt BTW.

If you have a black-and-white only printer - or can choose to print the fabric pictures only in black and white, that might be useful. You might be able to find pictures of *all* the fabrics on Moda's site, http://www.unitednotions.com. Print 'em all out in black-and-white, then cut 'em out (not with your fabric scissors, of course!) and you can play with them to your heart's delight without ever cutting into the real fabric.
It's cheap entertainment for a rainy day!
As to the picture you have... Moda *always* makes pictures of their entire collections in that fashion. So while the picture does remind one of a log cabin quilt, I don't think that's what Moda actually had in mind. It's just how they arrange their whole-collection pictures.
