Log Cabin quilts—popular in the United States since the Civil War—are made of arrangements of a repeated single block pattern consisting of hand-pieced strips of fabric around a central square. Explore color and value contrast using this simple and familiar pieced block as a framework for spontaneous piecing—and be open to not knowing exactly how the finished piece will turn out!
Some familiarity with basic quiltmaking and your sewing machine will be very helpful. Instruction includes how to finish ten blocks into a table runner. Feel free to make as many blocks as you wish.
