The quarter log cabin pattern turns out to be an interesting structure with which to use cut-up prints or scraps. I'm pursuing variations, using the three-piece form as a constriction. Recent quilts with variations on this pattern are Shore Thing, The Blues, Burning Bright, and Morning Again. It feels very satisfying sewing into linen.

White on black gives the prints an eerie look, I think. I used black thread purposefully to piece the white handkerchief linen together. Then the free-motion crisscrossing lines over the squares and rectangles. Then some hand sewing to stitch the appliquéed pieces all the way down.

Fault can be earthquake lines or a statement of being. Your fault, my fault, no one's fault, everyone's fault.
