This is the first time in almost 40 years that I have seen chimneys on a Log Cabin quilt that have a printed fabric as the chimney. Many factors take this quilt to a higher level. In addition to the print chimneys are the two wide borders.

The pattern was created from Logs measuring between 2" and 7" in length and 7/8" in width. The entire quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted. The quilting design is a Herringbone design, also unusual to this pattern. The binding is turned from the front to the back and measures 1/4". Each of the borders measure apx. 5" in width. The inner border is the same fabric as the chimneys while the outer border is an earlier deep red calico. The colors of the logs are..chrome orange, medium blue, light blue, variation of white calicoes, variations of red calicoes, double pink, solid pink, a red plaid, as well as black calicoes and stripes. The backing was created from cotton feedsacks with large label markings on one sack still visible.

This graphically wonderful quilt has never been used or washed. Now organically hand washed and ready to be loved. Always sent on approval, with free shipping.
