I finished free motion quilting the log cabin block with a variety of threads. I was inspired to finish this block after reading "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng. I began this project last January in a Saturday Workshop through one of the guilds that I am a member.
I also used a variety of filler stitches.

For the binding, I pulled the backing to the front. I wanted to carry the embroidery into the binding. I ended up making a straight stitch about every inch. Then I pulled the stitch tight to create a bit of texture.

For the label, I filled in a pre-printed one.

Label |
The sleeve was a leftover from a previous project. I love it when that happens! I used the same thread in the bobbin for all the quilting. It's the rust colored thread in the first photo. I love my Bernina for the tension. There isn't one stitch on the back that would let you know what color of thread is on the front.

In the end, I used about a quarter of a yard of fabric. This brings the total yards of stash used to 21 1/4 yards. The project measurers about 12 inches by 12 inches. This was goal number 14 on my December goal
list. It was goal number seven on my fourth quarter
list.
