Choose Between 3 Block Sizes!
This classic block offers so many design options. Since it’s a variation of the popular Log Cabin block, you can use it in many of the same quilt designs.
Plus, more options are available if you make the “logs” in the entire block close in value, rather than light on one side and dark on the other. There are many ways to arrange the colors, values, and resulting blocks to create a special quilt.
Give the blocks a scrappy look (or even use scraps) and let the line of squares unify the quilt. Or go with a coordinated color theme. Either way, you’ll get beautiful results.
Here are just a few of the many design options to get you started.
Designer Elaine Huff from Fabric 406 provides instructions for finished blocks measuring 10″, 15″, and 16″ square.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you! PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
