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!

enhanced with applique!

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!
I'm sure enjoying our "virtual WFQ show. It's fun to reminisce from our past. Thanks to Judy!
