Out of the Moth Balls...

Or, rather, the cedar cedar chest...I pulled out this variation of Log Cabin called Barn Raising.  I made this quilt in 1993 (yikes!) but it is still so relevant.  
A very traditional pattern and hand quilted using traditional techniques (no perle cotton here)
Solid cottons...
The borders are magenta and black with this striking red and black saw-tooth border...and I used black centers in each block rather than the traditional red...I was such a rebel! Ha!
Glad I pulled this out....it makes me happy to see this quilt again.  And goes to prove...everything old is new again!
