The dot prints are from Fig Tree's All Hallow's Eve and the stripe with the spiders is from Stacy Iest Hsu's Ghouls & Goodies. The fabrics shown here are the coming-in-May 2021 Kitty Corn by UrbanChiks, with a few additional light prints.

I started with a fat quarter bundle with 26 prints, added 1/4-yards of a few of my favorite prints, and about 1 yard of additional lights. How much? Because this hasn't been written as a finished pattern, I don't know how much yardage you'll need. And probably for cleaning up the blocks after they're all pieced. You'll only need two rulers to make these blocks - a regular ruler for cutting strips and trimming logs, and a 60° ruler for cutting the center triangle.

Is it a tutorial? Only in the sense that it's a guideline of how to make something like this - a few tips and a few options. There are many modern examples of these different shapes, especially the 60° blocks, often with varying widths of strips.īefore you proceed. There are antique versions of log cabin blocks that finish as hexagons, 60° and 45° diamonds, pentagons and octogons, and 60° triangles. While they aren't as popular as the square log cabin blocks, other quilters obviously agree. Truth be told, the not-square log cabin quilts have always intrigued me the most. If a log cabin block is made by sewing strips around a square, is it still a log cabin if the center isn't a square?
