27. “Diamond Log Cabin” by Pam Mahoney, owned by Jane Wilde

I couldn't believe the complexity of and colours used in this very technical quilt made by Pam Mahoney. Later in my quilting life, I attended classes given by Pam , and I learned about the 1⁄4 inch seam (“Does it really matter Pam?” I wondered in that first painful Beginners' class). This quilt is a perfect example of her 1⁄4 inch precision, combined with her eye-catching colour and value sense: “Jane, you have to have the lights to make the darks stand out.”
