Default Turning 2.5” Scraps into a Log Cabin Block

I’ve had numerous requests to explain how I made the log cabin blocks in my http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...y-t275731.html quilt.

My version of this block is made with 2.5” scrap squares and white strips. The finished block is 10.5” unfinished.

1. A graph paper pattern to use for placement
2. Sew a 2.5” scrap square and 2.5” white square together
3. Sew a 2.5” x 4.5” white strip “log” to #2
4. Sew a 2.5” x 4.5” log strip composed of two 2.5” scrap blocks to #3
5. Sew a 2.5” x 6.5” log strip composed of three 2.5” scrap blocks to #4
6. Sew a 2.5” x 6.5” log strip composed of three 2.5” scrap blocks to #5
7. Sew a 2.5” x 8.5” log strip composed of four 2.5” scrap blocks to #6
8. Sew a 2.5” x 8.5” white log strip to #7
9. Sew a 2.5” x 10.5” white log strip to #8
10. Finished block
