Last Friday I showed the red batiks I was working with and here they are all finished. It's always fun to try a new design. This one was inspired by a tutorial from Connie at Free motion by the river blog. I have wanted to try this design ever since she came out with it, but never got around to it. I did change it up a bit. First I decided to use all red and white for the log cabin where as Connie used a mix of red and green along with the white.
The other thing I changed was the number of holly leaves in each corner from three to two and only one berry for each set of leaves. That makes for a lot less applique;) Did you notice all of these fabrics are batik?
As you can see in the photo above I kept the quilting simple in the white with a meander using white Glide thread. The fun came in the red using a freehand holly leave and loops to represent the berries. This was done with a dark red Glide thread.
I found a fun fabric in the stash for the backing.
I hope you enjoyed seeing something new;) I sure enjoyed making it.
