PATTERN : Log Cabin Quilt Pattern

As featured in the display window of the Liberty London store!
This Log Cabin is a classic and timeless design. It traditionally features a red fabric at its centre, symbolising the warm hearth in the heart of the home, and then light and dark fabrics on either side of the block.This version arranges the fabrics in‘rings’ radiating out from the central square.

As pictured, this quilt looks great as a rainbow. It uses 15 different fabric prints one in each ring of the design.You could certainly have fun and experiment with other colour and print arrangements if you wish. Alternating just 5 different fabrics three times in the rings will fit in with a tighter decor, or all fabrics could be differing shades of the same colour across the entire quilt for a monochrome design.

This pattern requires 44” or 54” wide fabrics to be used, ensure you cut the appropriate amounts for your width of fabric as indicated on the fabric requirements below.
It is very well suited for Liberty Quilting Cotton or Liberty Tana Lawn® to be used as the main fabrics A-O, binding and backing fabrics.
