Antique log cabin quilt

    From around 1910. Photographs were not allowed in the display of antique log cabin-based quilts, most from the 1800s. But I had to share this brilliant quilt to show that "modern" quilt designs sometimes have nothing on quilts made over a hundred years ago.

      How interesting--I love the effect of curves without having to sew any curves.

      I like how the edge of the log cabin reds meet and stagger. This is a remarkable quilt.

      love this. I've been on a real 'red' kick recently and just adore the simple modern lines of this antique beauty
