Ever since I made a blue one for Jim last year, I have been longing to make another Log Cabin in tans, and browns.

This is the first block finished. It will be 5 x 4 blocks. I am thinking of calling it "Earthly".

wow, love it, haven't made a log cabin block yet, on my to do list

Love it!!!!!! I'm a total Log Cabin freak. They are such wonderful designs to work with.
Great job!!! :thumbup:

I like the browns with the red center. Looks warm and cozy.

? so on the log cabin block do you usually have the middle block red? I was thinking it was part of the tradition???

Nice block...I really like your color choices. Be sure to post a picture of the completed top.

My thoughts exactly :D :lol:

can you believe that my daughter and i made a log caabin quilt as our first project now 10 years later we take out the ole "learning quilt" and have us a good laugh.. we both kept them just to see our progress every year. I have to say your log cabin is such much prettier than our first quilts. beautiful colors and beatiful block. keep going you will love the completed quilt.

Sue.........I agree with you 100%!! :thumbup:

Boston..........I love the colors that you are using for your newest project!!
:D :D :D :D

This is my second one and did a red middle on both. I heard that it is supposed to represent the fireplace, or the heart of the house.

Very nice!

very pretty, love the tan/brown color!

I love this one. Great Job in picking colors.

That is just beautiful. What lovely warm colors. I can't wait to see the whole quilt. I bet it's going to be beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

very pretty

Very Nice!

Looking good :mrgreen:

What size is your block ?

It is 12 1/2 inches before sewing to another block.

THANKS for the info

That will go together fast :thumbup: Keep us posted :lol:

The Log Cabin block which was originated in the 1860's to honor Abe Lincoln, has traditionally always had a red or gold center square to signify the hearth, or fire burning in the center of your home.

I've never seen a log cabin quilt I didn't like! I need to make one again as I haven't for several years.

Great block, you fabrics are lovely.

Neato!! I named the one I gave Jim "Lincoln's Legacy".

Likey..can't wait to see it finished.

I like your colors. This block is among one of my favs.

A Classic! I love it!!

I like your colors.

Like the log cabin pattern, my daughter has choosen that pattern for her grandmother to make her for her wedding quilt when she gets married--not soon. Her grandmother will make it this fall -- in shades of blue -plaine colors no prints, my daughters choice. My mother has only two grandchildern, my son has choosen a double wedding ring in colors of beige and purple-plain and prints, for his grandma to make for his wedding gift-when he gets married.

Beautiful blended colors & it will be fantastic. What color(s) will you make borders & sashings from.

yes, the center block is usually red, the meaning is for the heart of the home. At least that is what I was told. Lace

I haven' made one yet .My frist one is going to the the floral log cabin. your block is lovely. I think your quilt will be great for a chilly night

Dear MN, I love the log cabin pattern, and haven't seen one I don't like either, but I think your daughter chose the easiest pattern for grandmother to make. If grandmother wants a quick and easy way to make a beautiful wedding ring quilt, give her this address and let her order the book and acrylic template. This is what I used and loved it. Book is "Rings That Bind" by Cheryl Phillips of Phillips Fiber Art, Box 173 Fruita, Col. 81521. email is [email protected] or www.phillipsfiberart.com This is an easy way to make a double wedding ring, you make strips and cut with the arc template.

That's really pretty! It's so funny how we get these pics in our head and then we look and wa-la...it's great!!! :thumbup:

I think that I will not be having sashing, although a nice rich rusty brown would be a great border. I will be concentrating on the blocks first, and then when they are together, I will think how big I would like a border and what type.

Boston, it's beautiful...fantastic colour selection and with the red looks very warm...it certainly will be and "Earthly Delight".

Fantastic choice of colors & fabrics!!! That's the next quilt on my to do list!!

Pretty! Good job!

Remember to show us the completed quilt. This is going to be so pretty.

Oh, I like this. The earth tones speak to me.

nice colors. i like making the log cabin quilt. thank you for sharing. post a picture when you get it done...would love to see it.. :thumbup:

Nice! I'd love to see the finished quilt also when you complete it. Ironically, I have been building a stash of brown and beige fabric because I want to try a log cabin quilt. I'm even more enthused now.
