It’s all about being efficient with your fabric and your time.
If you follow this Tutorial you’ll get 4 identical log cabin blocks at a time.
This allows you to arrange the log cabin blocks into an amazing array of geometric patterns of different sized quilts, and table runners.
You’ll see a sample of quilts that can be created toward the end of this first video tutorial.
The second video is another example of Chain Piecing a log cabin block.

Pretty Cool. Always turn to the right. I’ve only taken one quilting class and that was for the Log Cabin pattern. Now I am not afraid to try any quilt pattern out there.

I use this exclusively. It’s so much faster and all the blocks are done at the same time.

once i learned to chain piece i can NOT imagine constructing the blocks any other way. it seems madness to cut all those tiny strips one at a time!

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I have never made a log cabin quilt because it is so fiddly. Now I might just try one.

This is the same method created by Eleanor Burns. I have one of her first Log Cabin instruction books and have always made LC’s this way. Glad others can enjoy and make lovely LC blocks and quilts! So much fun!

This is the only way I’ve ever used to make a log cabin. The trickiest bit is how much more fabric you need for the outside logs than the inside logs. I’ve made several queen-sized log cabin quilts from half yard cuts of fabric, but for those last colors, you will need a yard. Here’s one I did last year: http://islandtimequilting.blogspot.com/2014/01/week-two-of-year-of-ufo.html

For God’s sake, you can, and do, try to fool us constantly, but this is just an insult.It is tempting to agree with you, considering the fruits of your actions.Try holding off on that next breath for as long as possible, thousands of tiny creatures will be grateful for the repreive.Is 802phonyଅ your middle name?

Terri Eide, Brenda Passe-Ammon, Leann Passe Quinn, Kathy Tentis, Cookie Kjos Lee, Laura Blair Schmoker, Denise Sylvester, Mary Tentis, Lynn Atkinson, this is a good video showing how to make blocks using shortcuts and then it shows different patterns you can make by just turning the log cabin blocks in different directions. I’ve never seen log cabins used to make hearts before and I LOVE the yellow and orange one.
