How Will Your Cabin Look?

If you were to build a log cabin how would yours look? Would it be contemporary or modern? Would your logs be set straight or varied and interlocking? I'm not talking about building a cabin to live in, but rather building a Log Cabin quilt to snuggle up under! The fine folks at Fons & Porter have released a free e-book that's yours for the clicking (here). You will be inspired by the gorgeous photographs of everyone's favorite, most basic of all, quilt blocks. It doesn't matter if you're a traditionalist at heart or a modern quilter, there's something for everyone in this book: Build Your Best Log Cabin. There are great setting options to inspire you but my favorite section of the book contains the finishing techniques: binding with piping  is addressed as well as joining the binding strips for a smooth and lump-free finish! You'll consult this book over and over once you have it downloaded on to your computer. With these tips and easy to follow how-to's every Log Cabin that you build will be your BEST quilt yet!

Life is Good!

Very traditional here!
Thanks for the link. This sounds like a keeper!

Offset and the skinnier side would have skinny logs, and the wider from center side would have wider logs, thus making the quilt look wavy when it is done. On my 2013 Bucket list.

Green logs with gold centers....set in a barn raising pattern. Oh yeah I already have that one! And love it

Thanks for the link. I've had a green log cabin on my mind since this whole move to the dry, brown side of the state started evolving.

I will be making 3 very traditional log cabin quilts this winter mixed with some fan blocks in a barn raising configuration. A country school friend asked me to make them for his kids. He asked me October for quilts for this Christmas so that will be my January prkoject to get started on them.
