It starts out as a log cabin, but a simple twist adds attitude. These wonky logs are set at an angle so there is no fussy measuring and a minimum of point matching. Choose a traditional light/dark color scheme or go scrappy.

It's a newly published pattern with an easy, relaxed design that looks great on the wall, on a bed or wrapped around a baby.

It's appropriate for all skill levels. Beginners can easily perfect log cabin block building skills. Since the center logs are at an angle, no one will notice if they are not exactly straight.

More advanced artists can play with color and design to develop secondary designs and shadows. Cornerstones or sashing can be added. Anything you can do with a traditional log cabin can be done with this design, so the possibilities are endless.

Don't let the curves and complex design fool you. This class is good for confident beginners and beyond. There are few points to match and accuracy in cutting and sewing isn't important. The gentle curves are only slightly more challenging that a straight seam. Have fun playing with color and design, using the Electric Quilt program.

The finished squares come in two sizes and the quilt could be made to any size. Its spectacular made in a selection of Batiks or tone on tones.

Barbs pattern could be included in the class fee or purchased separately. About 6-8 hours are needed for this class.

This pattern could also be incorporated into the Cure Curve Phobia class.

The pattern can be purchased separately or included in the class fee. A retail pattern is coming soon.
