Warp and Weft Lotta Jansdotter Challenge and a giveaway!

I am the newest member of the Warp and Weft Sewing Society, and as it would happen, my first project is also a challenge!  Esmari, the lovely proprietor of Warp and Weft, had the great idea to send us all a bundle of 6 fat quarters from Lotta Jansdotter's line Mormor and Sylvia.  She challenged all of us to make something inspired by spring.

I had to make a quilt.  Esmari made a quilt, Sherri made gorgeous tote bags, Carla made a bounty of pouches and bags, Shannon made a baby quilt and a sweet tunic for her daughter.  Cynthia and Lysa are still to come!  I used almost every bit of the 6 fat quarters along with Kona white to make a bright and crisp quilt, perfect for changing up the decor in your living room in time for spring or for snuggling under while out on the deck on a cool spring evening.  I made a variation of a log cabin block, set on point, and then spaced them out with white blocks.  I added a few strips of the leftover fabric to some of the white blocks and then finished it all off with a black and white striped binding.  I had the crazy idea that I should quilt it on the diagonal.  Somebody remind me next time how much of a pain it is to quilt on the diagonal on a big quilt!  Anyway, it turned out just the way I imagined it.  And just for the record, the quilting lines are about an inch apart and I used Aurifil 50 wt in white.
