Abundance PDF Pattern Gift-Away!

If there were one traditional pattern I could go back to again and again and again and never make the same thing twice, I think that pattern might just be a Log Cabin.

I love strong geometric designs along with the ability to use up a bunch of random scraps and Log Cabin quilts just check all of my boxes!

I named this quilt ‘Abundance’ due to the massive amounts of scraps I used while making the main blocks, sawtooth sashings, and the border blocks.

I focused mainly on using strips from my string buckets!

Those scrappy strings and narrow strips?

They are perfect for this project!

This pattern assumes that the maker has some experience with foundation paper piecing and following a foundation paper piecing template.

Yes, there is a Grinch in this block!

Along with my love of Log Cabins, comes my passion for foundation paper piecing which results in not only perfectly perfect blocks, but I can dig into my string bins and not have to cut individual skinny strips in odd measurements to make these blocks work.

The curved appearance of the Abundance blocks is due to the strips on the neutral side of the block being narrower than those on the colored side, resulting in an off-center block that adds a slightly scalloped design to the whole quilt layout.

The sawtooth sashings used many of the saved triangles from doing stitch & flip snowball corners on previous projects. I was thrilled to have a project that would sew up all of those precious saved cut off corners.

Scour your scrap stash and see what you can use as far as small pieces, saved triangles, and saved strips goes.

Unfortunately - or is it FORTUNATELY? 

This quilt did not make a dent, so I guess I will have to keep sewing!

Scrappy back for the win!

Like all quilters who have been engaged in fabric acquisition for 40+ years - I have fabric I KNOW I never bought.  LOL! Or some that I will never admit to, anyway.

Quilts like this are perfectly at home with a super scrappy backing as a way to use up those large prints, especially ones that are directional that you know you just can't cut small enough.  Let them shine on the back!

Abundance was machine quilted in an edge-to-edge design called Golden Curls by Apricot Moon Designs.

I bound the quilt with periwinkle 2’’ cut strips for a double-fold binding that finishes at 1/4'’.

Log Cabin Love!
