I used the wonky log cabin method in deep red tones to convey energy and warmth. The gold trapezoids are like a spark in the middle of the block to add movement and maybe a little surprise.
The turquoise is a soft-landing spot that breaks up the intensity of the surrounding colors. It is hand embroidered and echoes the geometric shapes of the wonky log cabin blocks.
I quilted straight lines to follow each strip of the block to give it texture and help move the eye around the quilt.
Overall, I think that the reds and yellows convey energy and warmth, while the blue band brings calm and stability.
This wall hanging is made from 100% premium quilting cotton. Hobbs 80/20 batting is sandwiched between the layers. It is faced and includes a sleeve so it is ready for hanging.
