I love the log cabin quilts that vary light and dark shades so that it ends up looking like diamonds. What is the name of that pattern and where could I find a free one to download? I'm thinking of making a queen size quilt for my husband for our 10 year anniversary and I thought he'd really like this pattern. Thanks!

I found the name of it!
http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...t-designs.html It's called Barn Raising. Now does anyone know where I get get the pattern for the block? Thanks! |
There is no specific pattern - it is just how the log cabin blocks are laid out. If you lay out 4 blocks so that the dark corners all meet, you will have a dark diamond shape.
I have the book 101 Log Cabin Blocks and there is a diamond shaped block that is made just the same as the regular block except it starts out with a diamond shape in the center. |
Ok, I found the pattern but I still need help:
http://www.quilterscache.com/L/LogCabinBlock.html I want my block to be 12" so then how would I figure out what size the strips should be? Help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! :) |
Christina,
If you look on page 1, the paragraph just above the "CONSTRUCTING THE BLOCK", it tells you the size of the strips that need to be cut. I hope this helps. |
Well yes, it says 1 1/2" width but what lengths should they be?
|
Ok, my engineer husband sat down and figured it out for me. LOL Thanks for your help ladies. ;)

I cut the strips the width I need but do not pre-cut the length. I sew the log on then trim - always long enough that way.
