I am in the process of piecing a log cabin and was wondering how does everyone else quilt a log cabin? Do you quilt by hand on every strip or do you have it machine quilted? I will quilt by hand, since I don't have a quilting machine, but just curious as to how anyone else might do theirs.

The log cabin wall hanging that I did last year I did STD.

Hi Rexie
I made a Courthouse Steps log cabin several years ago. I found it was easier to hand quilt through the middle of each log rather 1/4" from edge. No seams to go through and it looked really nice.

I did Stitch in the ditch on all of mine--of course, that's all I knew back then. Since then I've learned more from this board but it'll take alot more practise to get good at any of that LOL!

I like free motion quilting in swirls and curves to offset all those lines and right angles.

I did one for my parents last year for Christmas, it's posted here:

What a great choice that gives mom some flowers on the bed. I'll have to remember that for my next log cabin. Lot more exciting than stitch in the ditch

That is beautiful!!!
