Log Cabin Quilts and its’ Variations
One of the most popular quilt blocks, the Log Cabin block is easy to piece and is a good
choice for the beginning quilter. It is an excellent choice for a scrap quilt and offers many different
settings and variations thus making it popular with more seasoned quilters.
Log Cabin designs were made in the United States as early as the 1860s, and their
construction introduced the new foundation technique. In this technique, a square of
lightweight cotton cloth is cut to the size of the block, and fabric is pieced to that foundation,
working from the center out. In many of the old quilts the center square was red. This was to symbolize the hearth of the home. Since the foundation acts as an extra inner layer, these
quilts do not usually incorporate a layer of batting and are not quilted, although sometimes
they are tied.
