We had a wonderful surprise this month . . .
We received word that one of the quilts our inventory was published in the June, 2009 edition of "Architectural Digest"~
This 1930s LOG CABIN (Variant) is one my favorite old quilts. Graphic, slightly edgy, and genuinely happy.
I love how dimensional the design is. The (unknown) Kentucky quilt maker did some wonderful and unusual things:
She organized her colors into telescoping squares, a slight variation of the traditional Log Cabin block. And by dividing the centers of each block with a half square triangle, she helps create and emphasize the strong diagonal movement.
Cheery sophistication!
