Give a Modern Twist to a Classic Quilt

A Modern Color Palette is a Fresh Touch!
Deep charcoal gray and brilliant crayon colors give a modern twist to the classic Log Cabin quilt. This striking quilt will become a much-admired focal point in whichever room you choose to display it.
Colorful tone-on-tone prints seem to glow next to the solid dark background. However, you can give the quilt a different personality that is just as interesting by softening the colors and contrasts.
Scraps work nicely in this quilt, whether or not you go with a coordinated color palette like the one shown here.
Inspired by Antique Log Cabin from quilt collector Julie Hendricksen and constructed by Jody Sanders for American Patchwork and Quilting, the finished quilt is 66 1⁄2 × 77 1⁄2″.
