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.

Deck the Halls with Star Holiday Quilt Blocks

Star Holiday Quilt Blocks

Today is Day 5 of Star Holiday Quilt Blocks. All the quilt blocks are at this LINK As each quilt block is posted it will be there for you to use.

I wash, dry and iron all my fabric before I start any project. I wash after I purchase, so my stash of fabric is always ready to go. I learned this the hard way… as most quilters do. I did a book quilt, for The Quilt Ladies, spilled on it and washed it in the washing machine, cold water, bit of detergent. It bleed all over the white in the fabric and NOTHING I did made it better…it seemed to make it worse. Lesson learned and I remade the quilt, with washed, dried and ironed fabric.
Finished quilt block will be 8″ x 8″
