What is a Log Cabin Block?

The Log Cabin Block can have lots of different looks. The main features are a center piece and strips sewn around that block.

You will need:

– 1/8 yard of dark gray fabric – 1/8 yard medium gray fabric – 1/4 yard light gray fabric – 3/8 yard lightest gray fabric – 1/8 yard of light red fabric – 1/4 yard medium red fabric – 1/4 yard dark red fabric – 5 1/4 yards background fabric (1 3/4 yards for the blocks and 3 1/2 yards for the surrounding rectangles) – 5/8 yard binding fabric ruler (or larger) is very helpful for squaring up your blocks, but not required

continued...

– 4 1/4 yards backing fabric, or enough to piece together a 74” x 88” rectangle – a 74” x 88” piece of quilt batting – a rotary cutter, acrylic ruler, and mat – a light colored marking pencil for quilters or tailor’s chalk – sewing machine – thread (I suggest thread matching the background fabric) – a 16 1/2” square quilting
