log cabin quilt block

            
                                                            Log cabin quilts are easy...
                                                 Just decide what size you want your strips

                                            Then choose your fabric, I choose 2 1/2 inch strips
                                        and black and white fabric

 

cut one 2 1/2 inch square then,

place one 21/2 inch strip by it

 

put on top of the square

 

sew it together

 

 

uh oh...I skip to the nest strip

after cutting off the first strip you cut it evenly with your trusty scissors

two strips down

 

block with the two strips

please ignore the strings

 

I jumped ahead and sewed a strip of black and then cut it

 

 

then continue with the next strip.

you get the idea, I hope and again I didn't iron these

 

my finished block

The basic pattern

I didn't make mine as big

now that you know how to make the log cabin

 

 

I only made four blocks

there is several ways your blocks can be assembled together

above is one way

 

 

or maybe this way

 

or this way

 

or maybe like this

 

as you can see , several different ways

 

 

each way you put your blocks together are name something different..

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!
