Log Cabin Quilt Block
I love the Log Cabin quilt block. It's fun to make and there are so many variations. In this lesson you'll continue to work with strips. But this time you'll add a square. The center square represents the chimney of the cabin. The surrounding strips are the logs. I think you'll enjoy making this block.
Step 1 Cut the following strips of fabric. Label each strip to prevent confusion while you're sewing.  Step 2
Arrange Log Cabin strips like this:
Step 3  Flip B onto A. Right sides together. Edges even. Stitch using a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Press seam toward B. Step 4 Rotate block to the left. Flip C onto B/A. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward C.  Step 5 Rotate block to the left. Flip D onto C/A. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward D.  Step 6
Rotate block to the left. Flip E onto D/A/B. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward E. Step 7 Rotate block to the left. Flip F onto E/B/C. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward F.  Step 8 Rotate block to the left. Flip G onto F/C/D. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward G.  Step 9 Rotate block to the left. Flip H onto G/D/E. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward H.  Step 10 Rotate block to the left. Flip I onto H/E/F. Right sides together. Stitch. Press seam toward I.  Log Cabin quilt block should measure 6 ½" X 6 ½". You're doing great! Let's move on to our next block.
