The Boulevard is the main thoroughfare through my small city in Virginia. It’s a four-lane route with restaurants and businesses flanking each side along with strip malls. I live a block off The Boulevard. At night I see the lights of the businesses and the streetlights from my living room. In the early morning, it is quiet, and I hear the trains flying by parallel to The Boulevard. In this piece, I explored different ways of making a log cabin block to give the feel of The Boulevard. My starting point was elongated log cabins, then playing with the width of the strips. I added a traditional log cabin block to represent my home just off The Boulevard.
