New year, new wonky log cabins

 

My first quilt of the year calls for no procrastination because it was recently commissioned by a friend for her grandson, who is due this month. I'm making one of my favorites, a wonky log cabin.


She requested blue, yellow and red, plus anything else I want to throw in. So the centers will be the traditional red to represent the hearth. I cut them off kilter to start the wonkiness.


Then I added strips, either straight or wonky.


 Here they are after three "logs" were added.


... and four


 ... and seven


... and nine.
 

Now I'm taking a break to go out for Mexican food.
 
Have a colorful day

  3. I think this is one of the greatest blocks for a kid's quilt. The wonkiness gives it a natural energy no matter what fabric or colors and conjers up a happy vibe. I've made several for additions to the family but it's been awhile. Maybe I should consider this for one of th godkid's babies.
