Log cabin

This week's zentangle challenge is to use a string with only stripes. I used a log cabin quilt block as my string. A classic log cabin block has a red square in the centre to represent the fireplace in the house. What better pattern could I use for that than Paradox, a twisted log cabin! At the blue side I used Stick Weave, Galon and Zedbra, at the purple side Waves, Sonia and Printemps. For the shading I used some coloured pencils. Then I played with the photo of my tangled block on the computer to see how a quilt would look like with 36 blocks . . .

. . . or 144 blocks!


I'm not tempted to make one, but it would look very nice.
