Sedimentary

This quilt is called "sedimentary" - it was only two weeks ago that I did the label but I've already forgotten why it's called that. Perhaps rock? Perhaps the layers of dirt/sand/mulch/rock that we're digging up in the garden? Perhaps I meant to call it "sedentary"? We will never know.


It's a log cabin done entirely because the 2.5" scrap strips were spilling out of their bag. I did 25 blocks, which limits the layout - a lot of log cabin layouts require an even number of blocks in each direction. So this is a deliberately asymmetrical design. It looks quite clear in the photo but in real life it's hard to see, and the colours are quite muddy. You can't go wrong with a log cabin though, it always look homely and very quilt-like.

  1. Are you trying to make me feel bad? How can you make quilts so fast???? I've been piecing one since Christmas, with a big break for various life events. I'm just now about to try sewing 48 big blocks together and hope they match at the corners. You may hear the cries of despair from Australia. Look at you with your triangles all fitting nicely with squares at the corners. Gah.
