Traditional Tuesday - Block 2

Block 2 - Log Cabin
This was a fun little block. I made a log cabin quilt early in my quilt making days and have always enjoyed the process of making it. For this log cabin, I chose blues and pinks. You can choose two colors or a mixture of lights and darks. Traditionally the center is red. I chose a dark gray. You'll need a center square and 5 darks and 5 lights.Cutting:
For the center square, cut 1 - 1 1/2" square.
For the dark AND light strips, cut each fabric into 2 - 1" x 6 1/2" strips. Note: the strips will be cut to size as we piece them and not all will require this much fabric.
Measure the unit you just sewed and cut the first dark strip this length. Sew to the top and press. Repeat for the side strip. |
Once you've added 5 lights and 5 darks, trim to 6 1/2" square. |
What a beautiful log cabin block... I'd never thought about doing one in two colors.... very cool!
