Regular and Curvy Log Cabin Blocks – Most quilts are made of traditional shapes which can be combined into unlimited patterns. Changing colors, contrast and placements creates the feel from modern to classic to whimsical to antique; but all might have the same building blocks!

Come for a review or maybe you’re new - With all the new products and methods available today these Log Cabin blocks are easier and more accurate than ever. Everyone will learn something new!

Try a block or two, work on suggested small projects or create your own custom quilt with your quilter’s “building blocks”.

Supplies: Regular and Curvy Log Cabin Blocks

For a sample block-

8” Log Cabin block – 1 – 2 ½” square for center

3 – light colored 2 ½” strips about 9” long (use leftover strips – bring extras in case)

3 – dark colored 2 ½” strips about 9” long

8” Curvy log cabin:      cut 1 – 1 ¾ ” square for center

                3 -Narrow strips – at least 1 ½” wide x WOF

                3 - Wide strips – at least 2 ¼” wide x WOF

               Use good contrast between narrow and wide strips.

scraps are OK, wider is OK [use what you have in the scrap bag!]

There are also 4” and 6” finished blocks depending on your project which will need different size strips & center. Let me know if you’d like a project option.
