Today was BOM day at Cheryl's Quilts and this months block was a log cabin. The block instructions called for a white center, but of course I didn't follow the directions. I thought I had read somewhere that the center should be red, signifying the chimney, so that's what I did. Sharon made her center red also, so I didn't feel so bad.
Pretty. I had heard that the center could be red, gold, or even black....I usually prefer a red center.
ReplyDeleteI think the red center stands for the fire in the hearth at the center of the home. Black was for Underground Railroad stations. What would gold signify? Actually, I think any color works! Especially if it's YOUR quilt!
