LadyLake Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I won a third place ribbon in the Small Pieced Two-Person Category at the Minnesota Quilt Show! :cool: This twisted log cabin quilt was designed and pieced by my customer in memory of Joan Skalbeck, with Joan's Primrose Gradations fabrics. It was challenging to find threads that would show against the sage fabric; I used the 30wt. New Brytes for some of it, but found it was thicker than I wanted for dense fill, so I switched to Floriani which has a wonderful twisted sheen. The double batt of Hobbs 80/20 and Wool, gave definition to the stitches. -Full photo won't load, I'll do closeups first, then try full...- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
