There was a book that used the woodpile block as the basis for many different arrangements similar to the log cabin block. Since I had easy access to all of the newest fabrics while I worked at a quilt shop I used some combinations that I might never have considered otherwise. This border fabric with some type of oriental writing on it was just asking to be used.I like the warm yellow and red combination and it was perfect with black and white. This wallhanging was quilted by a professional long arm quilter. I needed a smaller sample to be working on along with the class so I made this Jungle themed wallhanging which is available for purchase on my blog-shop. Here is a closeup of some of the fabrics used. It is icy here in northern Illinois and it sounds like we may get 2 more rounds of it this week. I have had to cancel my computer class and the art quilters' group that meet at my house. The next question is can I get my elderly parents to the grocery store, or do I do their shopping for them. I'm hoping for warmer weather tomorrow which would mean just rain, not freezing rain. The good news is I have more days to spend quilting!
pretty... You have to send the yellow one to me, because Black, Red, white & Yellow are Maryland colors... Look at our flag. & the quilting kinda looks like black eyed susan - our state flower.

Brights with black are my favorite. I do like the animal prints too.

I like both of them but that first one really speaks to me! I love the bright yellow!
I love those jungle prints too! They look so dramatic.
Love the yellow flower.
