8007 – Barn Raising in Springtime

Gladie Church
Cresco, IA   USA

Width: 5.75"   Length: 8.5"

Materials/Techniques: Cotton scraps were foundation pieced onto a lightweight spun fabric using 3/4" squares and rectangles to complete the individual blocks. Straight line machine quilting diagonally through the blocks reinforce the barn raising setting.

Artist Statement: The log cabin block makes the most use of the tiny strips of fabric in my stash as this quilt is made of only 3/4" scraps. It challenges me to see what I can make from fabric others throw away.

This quilt has a Traditional Sleeve.
