Extreme Log Cabin = Spiral - July 8, 2021     

The technique I use to create spirals, a favorite motif in my quilts, evolved from experiments with Log Cabin blocks.  Along with the many examples of spirals in nature such as seashells, air currents and the double helix of DNA, there are connotations of growth and natural progression that are usually delightful associations when I view my work.
