Raspberry Truffle Log Cabin Quilt

 

Raspberry Truffle Quilt

     I finished a small lap quilt.  My friend Joni gave me a quilt kit she no longer wanted.  She was going to make a king-sized quilt but I knew I didn't have the patience for that with all the small pieces.

Block detail

     I cut it out at home, started piecing it at the March 2022 retreat and finished at the October of 2022 retreat.  As I had several quilts to be quilted, I put this to the side for a bit and finally got it quilted in February of 2025.

Border and binding detail

     It wasn't a hard quilt to do, just tedious with all the small pieces.  I like log cabin quilts as you can play with the blocks to achieve different patterns.

Label 1

Label 2

     I used a pretty quilt label frame from Embroidery Library and lettering from MasterWorks to make my label on my computer and then stitched them out.  Normally I have just used a satin stitch frame from another program, but I think these make for a prettier label.  No reason the back can't be as pretty as the front.
Backing and quilting detail

     Barb and I chose a leafy vine pattern that mimicked the pattern on the background and backing fabric.  Nice to have another finished project.
