Second Pink Wonky Log Cabin Ta -Da!

Another quick post to reveal my second pink log cabin. These blocks were made by the Siblings Together quilt bee and they sent me some beautiful ones!

 
 
 
The quilt is much brighter in real life and is similar, but not quite the same as the first one I made. Hopefully, Siblings Together will give the quilts  to two sisters. The back is pieced, using a 60 inch wide Ikea fabric with a scrap of pink spot on spot ( just to make the back wide enough to quilt).
 
 
 
The binding fabric was donated to me by Sue Bone. The fabric is a perfect choice for the quilt.
 
 
 
 
 
It's quilted very simply with wavy lines so is lovely and soft. I was having a terrible time with the So Fine thread shredding all the time. Still trying to work out why!
 
Quilt Stats:
 
Size: 58 x78 inches
Front : Blocks by STQB
Back: Ikea fabric with a strip of Spot on Spot pink
Wadding : Quilters Dream Request
Binding: Nancy Crow for John Kaldor ( according to selvedge)
Quilted with So Fine in white ( bobbin and top)

  6. It's a lovely finish! It would be great if they did give them to two sisters! I love the simple quilting and the backing is great. You must be up to about six quilts or so now for ST?
