where to find a pattern like this?
 

I hope this link came through... I really hate Pinterest, can’t just copy a picture. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern like this? I’m looking for a relatively simple 3D quilt to make for my son.

It is a half log cabin block, sometimes called a chevron log cabin block. The 3D effect is all color placement. Searched for a while for a pattern, but no luck.

Great quilt! When I see something I like on Pinterest, I use the snip-it tool that is one of the items in the "Accessories " of Windows. Use the cursor to select the item, then use the "copy" function to paste it onto a blank document. Then grab a corner to enlarge the item. At that point you can identify the blocks and components of each one. Hope that helps.

Best.Tool.Ever!!!! :)

That is a really cool quilt. It looks as if it's all made with 2.5" strips and a 2.5" square in red. That would give you a 12" finished block. It should be fairly easy to make without a pattern. The trick is to find just the right fabrics, as Kris said. I saved it for my "someday" file. Thanks.

When enlarged it appears to be a sort of half log cabin block made with 4 fabrics....red, print, print, solid black & then sashed with the brown fabric. Looks easy enough if that is it. It's the color combos that make the 3D effect.

Thanks for the Snip-it info. I've never heard of that before but tried it & it works great!

Thanks for looking, I’ve had no luck either

The block is a Quarter log cabin block and can be made easily with 2.5 inch strips. Color placement is everything to create the 3D effect.

The following measurements are the cut strip measurements. For this block, you want 4 colored parts, starting with red in the center, then a lighter color, then a medium color, then black. Then add a 2.5" square all the way around the block, making your block that is ready to sew into your quilt as 12.5 inches. This last add will make the block 3D. As your picture shows, it should be lighter than the black. FYI....I cheated and just used a 4 inch sashing when I designed it in EQ, instead of sewing the sashing all the way around the block. I think it will turn out with just as good a 3D effect.


For the picture of the block, I didn't use black because you can't see the seam using black material. That outside color has to be a dark shadow for the effect to be accurate. This 102 inch square quilt would be a good king size quilt. EQ doesn't allow a long sashing without cornerstones. You'll have to figure out your measurements for each side of the block using 4.5" strips if you don't want to put a 2 1/2 inch sash around each block. The other thing is EQ is over generous with giving fabric requirements. If you are using colors where you can pick up more, then I would buy less than EQ states you need.

This website has a good tutorial for the quarter log cabin block.

Awesome instructions, Barb! You are a real expert when it comes to EQ. I was mistaken in calling it a half log cabin block. :eek:

It's easy to get mixed up on Log Cabin's. One of these days, I will make this quilt. It has a wonderful 3D effect.
