You’ve seen pics of this quilt off and on, I know, but I do like to do a final photo when a quilt is all completed. “Scrap Cabin” is a Rachel Hauser (Stitched in Color) design, and she held an online sewalong in January to make her second “Scrap Cabin”–this new one, meant to have more color combinations than just two. I also chose to use two color families in each of the nine blocks. I fell in love with the border she designed.
And I’m still in love with that border. I especially love how she designed the border’s corner blocks. So clever…
This quilt used up A TON of my stash strips. I even had to cut some strips out of bigger pieces of fabric in my stash to get the colors I wanted. ***If I make this quilt again, I will keep the neutral pieces very light and not use the lighter greys in my stash as the lighter neutrals look a lot more lacy. I did figure that out by the border as I had not seen the full impact of the lacy border effect until I started making it.
I kept the backing plain–and did buy that fabric. The panto is “Check and Chase” by Hermione Agee. I love the texture and the curves this panto added to this quilt. I used a parchment colored 40 weight Cotton thread (Signature).
This quilt is my 239th quilt made.
