Free Log Cabin Block Pattern. As I have been making my blocks with random strips of my fabrics it has been a lesson in colour combinations, accurate 1/4 inch seams, cutting accuracy etc etc. Apart from the obvious lessons it has also been a pleasure to see fabrics that have been tucked away for a rainy day or that special quilt being used. It is so nice to have these gorgeous fabrics being used and documented in this quilt. My blocks are made with strips cut 1.5 inches wide. Separate your fabrics into light and dark.
A squares cut (two) squares one Red, one light 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches
B Cut (two) light strips 2.5 inches
C Cut (two) Dark strips 3.5 inches
D Cut (two) light strips 4.5 inches
E Cut (two) Dark strips 5.5 inches
F Cut (two) Light Strips 6.5 inches
G Cut (one) Strip 7.5 inches.
Sew your A squares together. Add B pieces, then C pieces, then D pieces, continue adding rounds till finished. This makes a 7 inch block, it is easy to change the size just keep adding rounds for a larger block. Or if you would like a smaller block add less rounds.
There are many ways to arrange your blocks, I suggest making a few first then playingwith them on a design wall to see which arrangement you like best. As I am still deciding on this you will need to wait until my next post to see how I have arranged my Log Cabin Blocks.
I am sure you must have some of these fabrics tucked away in your stash, it is such fun to see what we all have. Do you have any favorite's ?
Happy Stitching

Now that the holidays are well and truly over, and we have started the year 2020. I am back in my sewing room while the house is peacefully quiet, my process for starting the new year is to finish some of the quilts that did not get finished at the end of 2019. One of the quilts to finish is the Treasures in the scrap bin quilt from the sew along, and as I am working on it I would be like to share my thoughts with you.

Last night I had a wonderful impromptu visit from my lovely friend Anna she brought me the most beautiful bunch of flowers from her amazing garden. Such a special gift, I am truly blessed to have her as my friend. Which made me remember a block inspired by her Roses called Anna's Treasure from my Rambling Ways quilt.

With all the log cabins I’ve made, I never made a furrow one, so that’s my current leader-ender project. Log cabins are so much fun! I like the way yours look.
