Mini Log Cabin Blocks Make a Charming Bag
| April 7, 2016 | Quilted Bags, Quilted Gift Ideas
Dig Into Your Scraps or Use 5″ Charm Squares!
This handy tote bag is made of mini log cabin blocks. It’s a great opportunity to use up fabric scraps. Or, pull out 5″ charm squares you love and make up a bag in whatever colors inspire you.
The blocks are small (3-1⁄2″) but don’t let that worry you. There are no points or strips to match up, so they don’t need to be perfectly accurate like blocks do in some mini quilts.
The tutorial by Barbara J. Eikmeier produces a charming bag that would be great for gift giving. This is a quick and easy project you can complete in a weekend.
The finished bag is 8 1⁄2″ × 9 1⁄2″ × 1 1⁄2″.

Nice pattern. You have many great ideas, hints and patterns. Thank you.
I’m looking for a pattern called “Roaring Waves”, using fat quarters of blue and gray, which I saw on your site. Now I can’t find it! Also can’t find your “search box”. Can you help me?
I don’t believe we have that pattern, as a search did not turn it up. Could it have a different name? The search box is in the sidebar above the “Find Us On Facebook” section. I hope you find the pattern you’re looking for!
