log cabin quilts
hi everyone, I am new to this site and am looking forward to learning from it.I have a few questions.... I am planning on quilting a traditional log cabin quilt and would like to know how to figure out how much fabric to buy. i am planning on using creams rose and soft green. I would appreciate any help i can get, have spent so much time trying to do this alone!! thankyou

that depends.. for example, a 96" (before the border, which I presume would be something else) quilt with 1.5" (finished size) "logs", as I drew it up would be 2 yds of cream 1, 2.5yeds of cream 2, 2 1/2 yds of the green and 1 1/5 yds of the rose. Since traditionally, one side of each block is lighter, the other darker, I started with the rose, then used the 2 creams on one side and alternating rose and green on the other. there are literally hundreds of different layouts you could use. You might prefer to have a variety in each color.

You may want to google a free pattern online and choose the size you want. Then it will tell you exactly how much of each fabric to purchase! Good luck....and have fun! :) |
