Reflecting Pool Log Cabin Quilt
This log cabin quilt is named "Reflecting Pool." It was inspired by Eden Gardens State Park in Florida (hence the smattering of flamingos). I just love the overgrown, can-we-pack-any-more-in-here aesthetic of that type of garden. Live oaks, Spanish moss, the formal pools that are never quite clear . . .

I live just a little over an hour or so's drive from Eden Gardens. It's a beautiful park. Here I thought it was my secret place!
Your picture made me homesick. I've been in Tennessee the last eight months taking care of my mother.
When you make your quilts what is your stitch pattern that you use? I have make quilts, but have tied most of them, machine quilted one and taken the others to the mennonite ladies long-arm machine. I need to take a class so I can do one on my own and I like the beautiful simplicity of yours. Do you sew a grid? You do lovely patchwork too!

We just do a running stitch through the middle of the square (or rectangle). All my shapes are cut three inches wide (two inches after they're sewn), so we just eyeball the middle and don't worry too much about complete accuracy.
Thank you! That sounds like just my style!
