Velveteen Log Cabin Quilt
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.

Velveteen Log Cabin Quilt

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) "glinfoot" wrote in message m...
