Adding a Pieced Border to Finish the Cancer Awareness Ribbon Quilt

Log Cabin Cancer Awareness Quilt designed by Kari Schell using EQ8

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  To honor those impacted by cancer I have created a cancer awareness ribbon quilt.

During the last session we found a log cabin block in the EQ library and created a quilt based on that block.  If you missed the video tutorial you can watch it here.

During this session, I will show you how to draft the border block using EasyDraw.  I finalized the quilt by adding borders.

 This block can be a bit of a challenge to draft in Electric Quilt -- but these Tech Know Quilter's members have definitely mastered it as demonstrated by some of their latest designs.

Isn't it amazing how variety of quilts and blocks all inspired by the same block.  I love the different fabrics used.

Elizabeth Dicrescenzo made a quilt that was designed by Katja Marek and featured on the cover of Quilter's Connection magazine. Elizabeth used a different method to draft the block -- but it is the same style.
