I just pieced this twin-size quilt in log cabin squares, of which I will never tire. Yellow and orange centers, ranging out to neutrals, bitter browns, and some black, this one was made with our native black walnut trees in mind.

Nice. I love the name. My folks have quite a few black walnuts trees on their property. Such beautiful trees; great for climbing, too. Squirrels are quite fond of 'em, too. Is their a squirrel anywhere on your quilt?
Great work, and that's a perfect black walnut brown! The tennis ball-green nuts look so perfect in a bowl this time a year -- plus that motivates me to get them off my lawn before I mow.
I don't know why, but this quilt reminds me of those gorgeous, speckled, brown mama mallards with a tiny, yellow duckling with orange bill nestled into its feathers. Beautiful. ~Kate
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

I just love your color schemes, and all of your log cabin quilts! This one is so perfect for fall.
Do you use a special technique for assembling the blocks, or do you do it all piece by piece?
Thanks!
What beautiful colors to put together! I'd watch for this in your shop but *alas* they get snapped up so quickly!
No squirrel, Dee.
Xenia Kathryn, I do the blocks assembly line--first all the centers, then all the next row, etc.
Ashley, it won't be in the shop for a while--has to get quilted first!
This one has a lot going on in the way of prints - I like it!

I've been cutting up fabric in log cabin-sized pieces to try my own.
Your designs never cease to amaze me. Like the other comments, I also love your color combos.

it's beautiful. I love how you explain your patchwork.
Very pretty, Anna!
