Simple Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

Make a Simple Quilt Block

 There are only 2 quilt blocks to this quilt and 

what makes it look like many more is the fabric.  Machine pieced and I hand quilted with large stitches. You will need a total of 20 quilt blocks to make this quilt as shown.

I didn’t over think fabric, if it was a paisley, it was in and if it was a plaid, it was in, everything was from my closet. not thinking about ANY placement. Cut square and let the piecing go as it may ! Finished block size 6″ x 6″  Here is how I sew squares.
