This quilt exemplifies why people are drawn to the silk and velvet quilts of the Victorian era, don't you think? Rich glowing colors and shiny fabrics. It's all about the fabrics!
The counterpoint of the black vs. color makes the strong visual impact that quilt collectors love to see.
The logs are mostly silks. They are about 1/2" wide, though you can see that it's not precision piecing - they do wobble a bit. This makes me happy. It says to me that a quilter doesn't need to lose the fun of fabric and color by stressing over precision (unless precision makes her happy) and can still make a stunning quilt.
