In All About Log Cabins….
I will introduce you to simple drafting so you will become familiar with how the block is constructed and, in the future, you can create any Log Cabin you can imagine!
I will teach you a variety of ways to cut and stitch a Log Cabin, so they come out perfect every time.
I will advise you on fabric and colour choices that will enhance your finished quilts and allow you to make an antique looking quilt or a very modern, contemporary piece.
We will explore various layouts for your blocks.

The blocks we will make….

1. A traditional lay out using precut logs

2. Add triangles to create a unique block called Flying Geese in the Log Cabin sewn on Foundation Papers

3. Change the width of your logs and create an off centre (curved) log cabin

4. Use a photo printed on fabric and used cotton shirts to produce a very personal, masculine quilt

Time and interest permitting, I will also show you …

1. Diamond shaped Log Cabins

2. How to add squares to each round to make a Chimney & Cornerstone Log Cabin

We will only be making sample blocks in this class, but I am happy to help you with any ideas you have or projects you are working on. Please bring anything you wish as other students love seeing quilts!
