Log Cabin Redux (by the Pixeladies) juxtaposed with a detail from Barn Raising Quilt: Log Cabin Variation (United States, 1890's)
This quilt by the Pixeladies (Deb Cashatt and Kris Sazaki) reinterprets the classic quilting log cabin pattern by continuing their series of text quilts with Log Cabin Redux. The text around the quilt contains headlines, magazine titles, snips from articles and quotes from home owners. The Pixeladies artist statement suggests Log Cabin Redux is a reaction to the housing market's recent troubles and the foreclosure trends of the last few years, a poignant play on the classic quilting theme of home.
