log cabin with posies

It's been almost a year since I first put this together. 
Sort of a free formed log cabin. 
It is 68" x 76". 


It just seemed way too blah for me, so I began making log cabin posies for my log cabin.  Nothing brightens up a home like a yard full of pretty flowers.  Once I had made lots of log cabin flowers, I began improvising with some other types of flowers.  
Then I made some stems and leaves and buds. 

 
 
 
Dozens of flowers later, another issue presented itself to me.  
Do I like the new landscaping with or without the stems? 
       
 


What do y'all think?

Modified Cubism finished!


I am not the kind of person who likes to have a lot of unfinished projects laying around, so I finished this a couple of weeks ago, but saved it until V gave the go-ahead to post it.

This was an attempt at a slightly cubist look and was done in double reverse applique. Coming up with ideas and piecing are always fun to me, but quilting is a taste that I haven't acquired yet . It's a necessary component, but something I have no patience for.

It was a good challenge that Victoria set out for us.Who knew it would be so difficult to want to look at yourself for so long? It also was a change for those of us who primarily only do utilitarian-sized quilts. I can't wait to see the rest of the finishes.
