Batik Log Cabin Quilt

Finally! It's finished! A very, very, very late Christmas present for my Dad.

It's made from 5 colors of batiks and solid black fabric. It's mesmerizing that way, isn't it? I used a 6 inch log cabin block pattern from All About Quilts. And then arranged them in the traditional "Barn Raising" pattern.

Here's a closer look at the quilting thread pattern.

My hubby picked the thread color, a silvery grey and helped me map out the lines. I originally wanted to do feathers on the black stripes, but ran out of time and will-power, let alone lack of that skill at the moment.

I don't care how precise you cut all the tiny pieces, but they never seem to line up like you want them to. How many of you ended up stretching your fabric a little to meet the edge of the other piece? It's supposed to be a 60 inch square quilt, I have no idea if it did meet that measurement at the end.

If you're looking for the 5th batik, it's in the binding.
