Default Velveteen Log Cabin Quilt

I've been saving velvet and velveteen fabrics for a full size bed. I was
doing it in 5" squares. Planned on using a muslin for the back and then also
for the backing as you do not need batting in it. Even have some with
'rhinestones' on it, different colored designs but not the burned in
patterns.

Have fun doing it
Butterfly (it's on my someday list)

In another post, someone asked about making a velveteen quilt, all the
comments were quite helpful. However, about 15-20 years ago in one of the
"ladies" magazines, not a quilting magazine, there was the most gorgous
quilt that I believe was out of velveteen. It was a log cabin pattern and
I'm guessing it was velveteen, or at least something with a nap, it was a
tan color and of course every time the grain direction was turned, which
is a natural with a log cabin (I think, I'm a new quilter) it looked like
a slightly different color. Does anyone know anything about the pattern I
am talking about, perhaps a verification of the fabric used? Or can
someone suggest a different fabric that would not be quite as heavy? I
thought for sure I saved the article, but I have not been able to find it.
I did like the
look of the velvety texture. Thanks, - Oregon Quilter
