Log Cabin Quilt

A thrifty quick quilt

Posted by ScentsyVT

This is a really fast quilt, and fun for beginners. Other ideas: use old dress shirts, skirts,sheets or any cotton fabric found at thrift stores.

1

sew 2" strip to 4" square, cut to length(4") and iron strip away from square.
2

Take another strip and place it as picture shows. Sew, cut and iron out as before.
3

And a 3rd time. This is why you use strips, various sizes. Using strips makes it so much easier, just cut to size as you go. Minimal preparation!
4

And now you are back to the beginning. You will repeat the process over and over until you get to a size you like.
5

You can play with lights and darks to make a spiral effect.

And here is the quilt I made for my mother in law(bff), she loves christmas. Of course, quilts look much better in person. This is a great quilt for a beginner and a good way to use up scrap strips. I finished the quilt with a large border, polar fleece back and hand tied it(I know, its not a quilt unless its quilted). She loved it. Make one today! Start up takes minutes!
