I saw this pattern on a website selling fabric. When I wrote the company, asking the name of the pattern, they didn't know and told me that's how the fabric was in ther packaging. I have seen this before, but do not know the name. Can anyone help?

It looks like a folded version of a log cabin. Nothing fancier than that. At least I think so.

Isn't it courthouse steps?

Looks like a log cabin done in the 3D or folded style.

Log cabin.

I think it looks like a log cabin block without paying attention to the lights on 2 sides & the darks on the other 2 sides.

I agree but quite often people refer to courthouse steps as log cabin blocks.

I actually think it's called courthouse steps though in some books regarded as log cabin. Happy sewing! Therese

Courthouse Step is a variation of a Log Cabin block.

The blocks have same sized logs on opposite sides of the block, unlike a traditional LC block.

They both are similar but a log cabin is made adding strips counter clockwise, so each strip is longer as you go, where courthouse steps are strips sewn on opposite sides of the center block which makes the stair step effect.

It is a log cabin.

Here is the court house steps. There is a difference in the lay out.

I have 3D folded blocks by Geesie Baron &Esther Vermeer this block is called Gemstones which is a variation of log cabin makes a challenging project for beginners.

It's either a log cabin or courthouse steps.

Without a doubt log cabin! Look at how it's sewed. There's only one strip as long as the center square. Then the strips keep building as they go around. They're just not using any contrast.
