log cabin quilt: block 10

10 down. 10! double digits!

in laying out all the blocks, i've decided to start making some that are obviously light and dark (vs the brights that fall in between). i also want to use more black, although it can get really dramatic. i think the solution to that is keeping it fun, which is exactly what this little dot does. it's a silk charmeuse that required backing with fusible pellon.

• red silk satin
• black/cream spot silk charmeuse
• lemon linen
• mustard velvet
• black cotton/silk faille

i'm so happy with the color arrangement. it's very clean and crisp and simple. it's also very pittsburgh, with it's black and gold (which isn't a problem for me in the least).
