I’m continuing my quilting education; just finished #3! Using large-sized blocks helped to make this basic modern log cabin quilt come together quickly and rather easily.
I cut out strip pieces one evening and started sewing the next. All in all, it took about two and half weeks to complete. It really was THAT easy of a pattern.
I’ve included the cuts of fabrics below, but I find that I rather determine the finished size as I work. So the list is actually an estimate.
Fabric Cuts:
- (1) 20 – 4”x4” white
- (1) 20 – 4”x4” assorted fabric strips
- (2) 40 – 4”x4” assorted fabric strips
- (3) 20 – 4”x12” assorted fabric strips
- (4) 25 – 4”x12” white strips
- (5) 3”x55” white strips (approx.)
- twin size batting
- 2.5 yds. backing fabric
I’m already planning my next quilting project (sickness?). Bu-u-t, I need to do a holiday clean up, catch up at work and paint trim work in the family room. Wants v. Needs. 🙂
Have a good week! – – Joanne

Joanne,
I admire the way you chose the colors for this fantastically-happy and cheerful quilt. The other thing I noticed is that you carried the blocks over to the back. Was that done so when it is turned down the pattern would show? I think that is very creative.

Thank you, Ginene. I am enjoying learning about modern quilting. I am drawn to the world of pattern and color. Instead of a “plain” backing, I like to carry a little of the front design to the back of the quilts. I’ve started on my fourth – a chevron design. This pattern is a little more daunting for me – let’s see how long this one takes to complete. 😉
