I had to make 3 Log Cabin blocks in modern fabrics for a swap on Swap-Bot. I so liked how they turned out, that I made 35 blocks more for a quilt for myself :-)
I'm making a quilt just for me this year with the pattern Playtime by http://www.needlesandlemons.com/. I've signed up for a monthly 3 solids FQ club and I'm using the darkest and the lightest to make the quilt in a mellow pace!
Here is the first block, solids are Dark Violet and Orchid. The Center squares are Center City - Miami Downtown and the background fabric is Crosshatch Sketch in B&W.
