Today is the 4th day of the
Log Cabin Blog Hop
where all the new fabric collections are being showcased.
What better way to show the gorgeous new Island Batik fabric collections
than with log cabin quilt blocks?
I'm thrilled to share my quilt today,
"Point Me to the Cabin"
and these Colorpop fabrics are certainly one of my favorites!
by Kathy Engle.
I fell in love with the Colorpop fabrics at first sight.
All that color made me want to use each fabric from the collection.
I chose to piece 1/4 log cabin blocks with Island Batik Foundation fabric in solid white
and the colors in the Colorpop collection.
Each block was stitched with Aurifil 50 wt #2021 and a Schmetz Microtex (Sharp) Chrome 70/10 needle. If you haven't tried these needles, they are perfect for the tight weave of the Island Batik fabrics.
Rainbow is my favorite color and I loved the opportunity to piece the blocks on point and let the colors travel down the quilt.
I don't set blocks on point very often, but I love how it can totally change to look of the blocks.
I had so much fun watching this quilt come to life with each row
and
love that it's colorful and bright.
I quilted circles in an edge to edge design with
Hobbs Tuscany Collection cotton wool blend batting in the middle.

I quilted circles in an edge to edge design with
Hobbs Tuscany Collection cotton wool blend batting in the middle.
I found out I really like this cotton and wool blend batting for the way the quilting pops
and the soft drape of the quilt.
I did the quilting with my Handi Quilter Avante long arm pro-stitcher
using Glide Trilobal Polyester 40 wt white thread.
The backing and binding fabrics are from the Colorpop collection and I used an extra block on the back for a label.
The name of the quilt came from setting the blocks on point.
The fabrics featured in this blog hop are from the Island Batik Fall 2019 collections
and
will be coming to stores very soon.
Be sure to ask your local quilt shop for Colorpop!

Your quilt is beautiful. The colors just shine!
It's gorgeous! I love what you did with the collection. Very modern looking.
So cheerful. Makes me think of suckers we used to get as children.
Very different block, I would never take it for log cabin. Pretty quilt.
I love your quilt!! Sewing with batiks are my favorite thing to do. They press so nice and the colors are gorgeous!!
Love those bright colors against the white!
I love the rainbow pattern too! I bet when you look at the blocks up close, the batik pattern pops even more! The white background just sets of the blocks perfectly! You are so creative Carla!
Beautiful quilt Carla. These fabrics are gorgeous and I love the way you used them. So creative.

Colorpop is the moost beautiful IB fabric just now. I love it, and I love your quilt. So sorry that it's difficult to buy those fabrics here in Norway.
I love rainbow quilts! I also love on-point settings. Sometimes that is exactly what a quilt needs to make a statement!
Wonderful rainbow colors! Loving these batik fabrics! Thank you for the great tip on sewing needles, Susan
Love, love ColorPop! I know exactly what pattern I would use if I win the charm squares. Will have to try those sewing needles. Thanks for sharing the tip. Batting sounds intriguing. Have a wonderful day!
Yummy! Color Pop is my favorite!
Color Pop is just perfect for rainbow loving creators! This is one of my favorite blocks and setting them on point really shows them off the best. I'd love to play with those charms!

Love both your quilt and the name. It reminded me of the cabin my father built in southern Illinois. There were no roads in to it, so we had to hike in and carry all our supplies. I have some great memories of camping there. Nancy A: SewingGranda@gmail.com

Your quit is wonderful! I really want to make some tropical fish with this line
It always amazes my how simple blocks can be turned into something stunning when they are placed on point. I love the colors against the crisp white.
This is such a beautiful quilt. I am not familiar with the 1/4 log cabin, but it looks like a fun block to make. I like how your quilt displays all the colors so wonderfully.
That is an amazing quilt! I really like the rainbow colors, and the arrangement of the blocks, AND the on-point. This is a winner!
Thanks for the chance to win my own rainbow collection.
Wow!! Eye catching and beautiful!
