This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that incorporates log cabins or a twist on log cabins. The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik. I must admit that I have never made a quilt with log cabins as I have previously found them to not be that exciting (*ducks from the firing squad*). I have been...
This month’s Island Batik Challenge is to create a quilt that is either foundation paper pieced or English paper pieced (EPP). The fabrics featured in this post were given to me by Island Batik.
