Log Pyramid

Another challenge quilt for QuiltCon.  This one actually meets the challenge criteria (unlike Oops!).

UPDATE - My quilt was accepted for display at Quiltcon 2016!  Yay!  This is my very first competition quilt.


I started with a central square and added each surrounding triangle log cabin style.  I used a ruler to cut the strips.  The width and color of the strips was chosen (mostly) at random.


 The quilting is similar to Oops!  I started with a central triangle and spiraled outwards following the seams of each strip.



The back is a single fabric.

My favorite thing about this quilt is the color scheme.  I love how the yellows, greens and blues go together.
