Play with color and value using ombré fabrics

Modern and traditional design cross paths in this stunning Log Cabin quilt. Quilters of every level can create this simple yet versatile quilt. Characterized by strips (logs) surrounding squares, the repeated squares give the quilt pattern depth, and colors create dimension. The block-making approach is thoughtful, with value and color placement studied even though the overall effect has a scrappy appeal. Look closer and see how the blocks create a secondary jumbo star pattern. Jennifer Sampou is known for her gorgeous ombré fabrics, which she incorporates into the Log Cabin quilt.
