WFQ Virtual Quilt and Fiber Show - July 12

This would have been the third and last day 
of our annual quilt show.  
We are all missing it!  
But the 2021 show will be amazing 
and we have already reserved the dates.  
More on that later.  

Today let's look at the Log Cabin pattern 
and some variations and fiber art twists!  
More photos than usual - start the Virtual Show!


Here's a traditional example in sable and purple. 
Center squares in the blocks are dark red. 
Red and yellow are the traditional colors
of the center squares, but not required!

Here's another traditional example 
in purple and green. 
Center squares of the blocks are purple.

This lovely variation has plain squares 
enhanced with applique!
Butterflies in the applique squares and 
in the border fabric.

This variation on the traditional setting is called 
"Courthouse Steps"
Great scrap buster!!
And look at the red center squares!

A creative use of the "half Log Cabin" block
is to make a spectacular border!

 This mini-Log Cabin is an art piece 
with varying sizes of the "logs". 
Glowing fabric choices!

This mini-Log Cabin is an additional art study
with an off-center setting and some wonky 
blocks around it. 
Red centers again!
Linda Downing 2011



There are an infinite number of variations 
on the Log Cabin block. 
Each one as much fun as the last!
Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!
