Studio 180 Technique - Traditional Log Cabin
Instruction: Sue Simpson, Certified Studio 180 Instructor Quilters love log cabin blocks. A Log Cabin block consists of a center square with a series of "logs" sewn around all four sides of the square. Sounds easy, but anyone who has tried to make them knows they are a challenge to get sized perfectly. Our technique has you strip piece each round of oversized logs, then trim after each round and once again at the end. The final trim assures your finished block is the correct size. A beloved technique made even better. What’s not to love! |
