Today I found a new log cabin square, unfamiliar to me. I love it. If I wanted to make a quilt with this square,,,should I use just this or can I mix it with the regular log cabin, and courthouse steps? Would that make the quilt to busy, using a variety of styles?
|
Opps! It is called corner in the cabin. sorry about that.
|
where did you see it
|
In a book that I have, called 200 quilting tips, techniques, & trade secrets. By Susan Briscoe It is just a nice easy block, but perfect for my grandsons quilt
|
|
yes, that is the one. Is it best to make each block the same to form some sort of pattern?
|
I'd make them the same just to be symmetrical and to have the seams line up. But I like symmetrical quilts!
|
thanks for your input. This is just for a little boy, but I do want it to be nice. I appreciate your help.
|
I have this pattern set on point as a doorway quilt. It matches my dining room wallpaper pattern. I wouldn't care for it mixed.
|
Have you seen the "liberated log cabin"? They are sort of mix and match
and non-symmetrical. Maybe that might be something you're looking for? |
no I have not seen that one,,,where might I see it? I will try and google it, and see what I can find. Thanks.
|
Quite a few here. Yes, try google (image).

There's a LOT of different blocks that are variations of the log cabin block. I've seen a quilt made with each block a different log cabin and it was beautiful. I think the woman that made it called it "Heritage Village", "Log Cabin Village" or something like that. It was a scrappy quilt with each block being made of different fabrics but all the chimneys were some sort of dark red.
