I love toile also, but never would've thought to use it like this. But you did & it's gorgeous! This quilt is so elegant & classic-looking. I love it! And BTW... the reason we're so complimentary of your quilts is because they're fabulous! Keep'em coming!!!

WOW I love your black & white log cabin, I would never had thought to make a log cabin in those colors, I love the fabric and the center block fabric is just awesome. Log Cabins are my favorite pattern and I have made a lot of them. I would love to have some of that fabric, I will have to see where I can find it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work, and keep them coming.

At first I want to thank every member of this board for all the messages I've received for my works since I've started to post pictures.
I'm very suprised by the dynamism and the enthusiasm of the community. I usually post my work on a french blog and the feedback is not that fast and voluminous, when I receive 3 answer for my post, I'm very happy...
So here's one of my first quilt. It's from a french decoration Magazine, Marie Claire Idées. The center motives of the log cabins are "toile de Jouy" fabric. The "toile de Jouy" was created in the 18th century in a town, Jouy-en-Josas, near Paris. It is easy to identify because of the printed rural scenes motives.
It's a mix of symmetric and asymmetric log cabin blocks.
