Your quilt is gorgeous! I think log cabins look great with SID on all the seams. Or feathers in either the dark or light areas (or both).
If I use a monofilament thread, I prefer rayon or polyester to nylon. The nylon doesn't hold up as well over time and can be melted by an iron. |
What a beautiful log cabin quilt. So glad to see the traditional red center too.

I quilter my sister's log cabin stitch in the ditch and then I added a tie in the center. It was my second finished quilt. She still loves it.
Have you looked in the Picture Gallery to see how the other Log Cabins are quilted? |
Here is the thread with all the pictues of Log Cabins.
Maybe it will help. If not....you'll enjoy the eye candy! :D http://www.quiltingboard.com/user_page.jsp?upnum=2203 |
That quilt top is fabulous!!
|
Are you hand or machine quilting this?
|
Very nice quilt.
Hint on the invisible thread though. Use the Polyester thread. Rayon and nylon will both melt under the iron and don't hold up as well. Sulky makes a clear Poly and a "smoke" poly for the darker squares. I've always liked feathered quilting on log cabins. |

I used SID on my courthouse steps and it turned out really well, but if I had it to do over I think I would include some swirly sort of patterns in the sashing.

Not much help,but I love your quilt!
