Curves in the Cabin

This great variation of the Log Cabin with Attitude technique is fun, not so fast, but again has few rules. Incorporating strip piecing, I will introduce you to the delights of gently flowing curved blocks, with no pins needed! Use of colour, quilting, embellishment and finishing techniques also discussed. Machine piecing.

You may like to include hand dyes and some batik’s too.
