Wild Log Cabin
 

I made this quilt for my husband to donate to a family reunion raffle.
Since I was going to set the blocks in the straight furrows I wanted a pieced backing to go on the diagonal also so I pieced this wild backing. It didn't dawn on me that when I pieced the backing with the blocks measuring the same as the log cabin blocks, I wouldn't have any left over backing to get it on the quilt frame. Did pretty good except I was about 1 inch short when I got to the end, pieced a little bit to go on the bottom. Not going to try that again.

What a great way to make a back! I have yet to try something like this. I love your colors as well.

Beautiful. BrendaK

Great job!!

This was the hardest backing I have ever done. I just could not get it in my head how to sew the row together so the strips of color would go in the same direction once the back was turned wrong side up as you would do in the sandwiching process. I finally had to lay my quilt out right side up and lay the backing blocks wrong side up on top, then pin the blocks together and take then into the other room and sew them. I've never been good with mirror images.

Well, it was certainly worth all the work you did to get that beautiful back! That front is fantastic, great job all around! Colors are great! Good luck on the raffle.

I love it. Colors, front, back. It's great. Never thought of diagonaling a back. (is that a word?)

This is so cool! I love it!

That is beautiful. Love your colors.

I love it! That quilt looks good on both sides. Great job.
