Log Cabin quilts—popular in the United States since the Civil War—are made of arrangements of a repeated single block pattern consisting of hand-pieced strips of fabric around a central square. The Log Cabin block offers a wonderful framework for exploring color and value contrast and for spontaneous sewing without a lot of advance planning.
Using a sewing machine and a common fabric pool of scraps from the instructor and students, participants learn an efficient flag-piecing technique that allows for many blocks to be created at once. The completed blocks may then be finished as a throw or a table runner.
The workshop is open to all levels, but some quilting experience is needed.
