Continuing my exploration of the quarter Log Cabin pattern, I started this one by stenciling a faux thumbrint on black cotton and cutting it into pieces. The decolourant I have has now officially aged, so the stripes were more brown than tan, and William Blake's "Tyger" poem came to mind, a query to creativity, nature, and divinity. I handquilted with the Japanese "rising steam" sashiko pattern, bringing East and the traditional Western log cabin together again in another disrupted ninepatch.
