Wow, Beautiful. I don't believe I've ever seen this arrangement for log cabin. Your quilting is beautiful, and you're right, perfect use for he Koi fish. I'm also a convert to faux piped binding. I love the added element it provides between the border and the binding... besides it's so quick.

This is a new way of setting log cabin blocks to me and I love it! Clam shells without curved piecing, how great. The back is just as beautiful, you could use either side. So jealous of your quilting it's awesome.

Thank you everyone for all the nice comments. This quilt was a lot of fun for me. It was my mindless sewing project when putting it together but I quickly grew addicted to it. I planned the quilting for it as I was piecing it. That is why I put such a substantial border on it. I wanted someplace for those waves.
I couldn't wait for one of my own to have room in my quilting que which will happen much more this year as I am not taking on any new clients this year. Time to work on my growing pile of quilts and tops. Oh and that backing, it was a total fluke that the two WOF strips lined up like that! I didn't even try to do it. I just rolled out the yardage and cut two pieces, lopped off the selvages and sewed them together. The good Lord must have been smiling on my efforts that day and liked what I was doing because those two pieces lined up as though I had planned it. I don't think I would be near as happy with the back if that hadn't worked out that way. That fabric has been sitting in my stash for several years. Probably as much as 7, maybe even closer to 10. I picked it up on sale and knew then it would make a great back so bought enough yardage of it for that purpose.
