Instructions

I was inspired by a quilt that appeared in a Japanese quilting book, But I could not read the directions, so I had to make my own. My blog has pictures and a link to the tutorial I created.

Category: Quilting

Materials

cotton fabric, sewing machine, thread, freezer paper Online tutorial that I created for this quilt http://issuu.com/arrasheiress/docs/how_to_for_log_cabin?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true

What was your inspiration?

My inspiration was a quilting book published in Japan and in Japanese called LOG CABIN. The images in the book are incredible, but I don't read Japanese. After many inquiries and conversations with friends who quilt, I decided to go it alone and make the quilt just using the photo from the book and suggestions from others.

What are you most proud of?

I think this quilt is a great success visually. I catch others looking at it and trying to figure out how it was accomplished, much as I did for many months before attemping to make the quilt myself.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

READ the tutorial I have created multiple times, talk to others more experienced than youself, and send Arras an email. I'd be happy to explain in depth anything that isn't clear. arras.studio@comcast.net
