"Modern Logs" is Christa Watson's first class sample she made to teach Modern quilts to students.
Modern Logs is based on a traditional log cabin design and made using both straight and wonky strips to allow students the freedom to create log cabin blocks the way that they'd like to.
Artist Statement: "Modern Logs puts a modern spin on the classic Log Cabin block by creating one-of-a-kind improvisationally pieced blocks. I started with an equal number of prints and solids, then used scraps from the blocks along with a little yardage to create a secondary composition on the back."
