I'm pleased to say that at long last I've finished my wonky log cabin quilt. It was originally inspired by the Old Red Barn Co. Quilt along on flickr. The tutorial was by John from the Quilt Dad blog.
Ta-da.
I had loads of scaps left which I didn't want to waste so I pieced the back too.
It's constructed in rows. I started with the row of patterned squares and white rectangles in the middle and then I just worked my way outwards either side of this row until it reached the right size. The pattern but not the fabrics is a mirror image. I made the design up as I went along, working with what fabrics were left as the pile of scraps got smaller and smaller.
I'm so pleased to have finished it. I dread to think how many hours went into piecing both sides and doing all the quilting.
Now onto finishing some more projects...............

It's beautiful..well done.
Love it, love the back as much as the front, so fresh and happy.
what a lovely quilt! I love the front and back. Great way to use your scraps!
It looks terrific Maria, such lovely cheerful colours. And when one side gets grubby you can just turn it over!
It's absolutely beautiful, Maria! I love pieced quilt backs too but yous looks like a "proper" quilt design in itself - a truly reversible quilt!
