Louise Naples Quiltmaker

This king-size,  reversible,  Log Cabin quilt was made for my daughter Nikita. I chose greens, from mint to forest, and purples from palest lavender to deepest plum for the color scheme.  Since she has many lilac bushes around her house, I settled on that as a theme, searching high and low for the appropriate fabrics.  The core of each block is a sunny yellow, which quietly asserts itself among the cooler colors.  Since it is very difficult for me to quilt such a large piece on my sewing machine, I used the “quilt-as-you-go” method.   Cutting squares from each fabric, I  pieced and quilted the log cabin blocks, one-by-one, until I had eighty.
