This quilt helped scratch that itch, but I definitely want to work more with this block soon.įor the quilting I kept things simple. Log cabin blocks are one of my favorites, but I haven't made many log cabin quilts. The rest of the fat quarters were chopped up for the blocks. The collection had two prints with a creamy white background, which I used for the block centers.

I pretty quickly decided that a simple log cabin quilt would be a nice way to show off all the colorful prints, and take full advantage of the fat quarters. They've got a list to be notified about new Tilda collections, which you can sign up for here. This is the Harvest collection by Tone Finninger. I'm also including a simple tutorial for this quilt since I've gotten questions about it every time I've posted a photo of it here or on Instagram!Īs I mentioned last month, Julie from The Intrepid Thread sent over some Tilda fabric for me to play with. We can cut them straight as we go.Happy Thursday! Today I have my finished Harvest Quilt to share with you. Just be sure that the scrap is long enough to cover the section of the block that you're working on.įor the center 'square', cut a piece of fabric that has four sides and is about 4
Step 1 Choose scraps or cut strips of fabric in varying widths from about 2 inches to 3 or 4 inches by at least 6 to 12 inches long. Then, trim the block using a squaring up rotary cutter ruler (you'll see this being used when we get to this step). After adding each round, use a squaring up ruler to check the size of the block.Īdd rounds until the block is 1 or 2 inches greater than the size that you want. To get the block the size you want, you continue to add logs around the center in what's called rounds. I'm aiming for a 12 inch wonky log cabin in this tutorial. Refer to this diagram as needed while you assemble your block. Then proceed counterclockwise around the center. Think of the sides of the center square as the 3 o'clock (right side), 6 o'clock (bottom), 9 o'clock (left side) and 12 o'clock (top) positions on a clock.įor this log cabin block, stitch the first log (1) to the center at the 3 o'clock position. (In the diagram below, the center may not look like a square, but it did start out as a square.) It shows you the order in which to stitch the logs to and around the center square. Look at this quilt block assembly diagram. Lots of scraps or cut strips of fabric in various colors in varying widths from about 2 inches to 3 or 4 inches by at least 6 to 12 inches long.1 (4 to 5 inch) square of fabric for the center square.one side of the strip has a straight edge.long enough to cover the piece its being added to and.To make the wonky log cabin block use scraps or strips cut from yardage. So, add all of the logs in a clockwise direction. The point is to follow the same direction when adding the logs. You can add the logs in a clockwise direction. Then, added the remaining logs in a counterclockwise direction. I started by adding the first log on the right side (3 o'clock position) of the center square. You can add the logs at any position around the square. They make it look like a modern log cabin quilt block. The angles give the block its wonky nature. Next, add logs (strips of fabric) around each side of the square at an angle. But, use any color to represent the 'hearth'. Start with a center square, just like in a traditional log cabin.
It's a little crazy! And, it gets better. Talk about an easy block! Beginners, you will absolutely love - love, love - the wonky log cabin.
