July Log Cabin, Yellow TaxiCabin’ for the Log Cabin Focus Through the Prism Challenge
As June was coming to an end I was anticipating the July block choice and hoping it would be a log cabin. It’s my favorite block since it’s so versatile. I challenged myself to do the challenge in ROYGBIV and try use black and white. Yellow is not so easy for me. Imagining black and yellow immediately made me think of taxis. I went to the City Quilter in NY specifically to buy the taxi fabric (and hopefully a few more shades of yellow Cherrywood). I already had shades of grey leftover from another project and a few yellows. The idea came from the MQG September 2014 Pattern of the Month, Chess on the Steps by Krista Kennebury. Check out instagram #improvundertheinfluence. She has a great method for making improvisational from squares. I added a few red patches like the tail lights and some black and white checks. All the solids are cherrywood.
This is a great idea. Haven't seen the taxicab fabric here in Nevada but have seen it in another quilt on the web. I really like the improvisational feel of the quilt.
