Periwinkle

Pam Brennan

This traditional design called “Log Cabin” was one of the first styles of quilt that I learned to make. For this one I chose to place the blocks in the “Barn Raising” setting. I put a twist on the classic colors of blue and white by using periwinkle and royal blues,a white fabric printed with a royal blue floral design and buttery yellow fabrics for added accent. I liked the way this one turned out. This 84”x100” queen sized quilt is available for sale on http://www.eBay.come. Please search for “Blue & White Log Cabin Quilts”.

I made a few different blocks then set them into appropriate places to get the look I wanted.

I quilted this one in an all over edge to edge abstract vine design with royal blue thread. The blue and white floral backing compliments the front of the quilt where I did use some of it in the blocks.

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
