A Quilt A Day

Four square.

I’m posting Brittney Michelle’s cute Log Cabin Polka top today because I’m really having a love affair with small quilts that are just four blocks.

Each of these blocks is probably around 18″, which, when you think about it, isn’t really THAT much bigger than the standard 12″. But it’s kind of amazing how much design she’s packed into each block:

Even more amazing is how just four, rotated to form a center cross, can form such an explosion of color.

I’m definitely adding this to my baby quilt inspiration list. The fabrics are so pretty without being too sweet, and the bold strokes lend themselves really well to a unisex design. And at 36″ square, all it needs is a border to be a generous crib size!
