Use QAYG to Create This Log Cabin Block with a Twist
Instructions Are Provided for Turning QAYG Blocks Into a Quilt!
Strips of fabric create a charming block using the Quilt-As-You-Go method. The block is essentially a Log Cabin block set on point, with two compatible colors providing contrast between the halves.
You can finish the block for a lovely table mat or use it in a bag, pillow, or other project. Or make a quilt using several blocks.
Since you quilt the blocks as you make them, it’s a quick project to turn them into a quilt once the blocks are done. Instructions are included for sewing the blocks together and adding the backing (this method can be used for any QAYG block). Quilt layout examples are also provided.

This is a fun block because there are so many design options. Fussy cut the center square, or not, change the values and their placements to alter the look, and play with block layouts to create a one-of-a-kind quilt. And, of course, the block is charming in any color palette.

The trimmed blocks designed by Maureen Cracknell for Janome are 12.5″ square and finish at 12″ square.
