This is what I do when someone gives me lots of fabric and free reign. Thought you'd like to see them. I may not have them in this order-- still learning how to post pictures, but here goes:
Chenille by the Inch, by FabriCafe. It's so easy.
Raw Edge Applique, another easy method. I used SoftFuse.
The little log cabin is a mini-replica of the quilt. I even scalloped the edges.
The pillow is a digitized pattern by Tanya Del Togno Armanasco, Portland, Oregon, Quilt Savvy.
The quilt is called "Charming Log Cabin", and as you can see, is simple as pie. The top and bottom borders are waved with bias binding applied to the back, which will finish to the front.
Enjoy, and thanks for looking.
