![]() ![]() On 2c you’ll sew your D strip onto the right side of the IE block. Continue to sew your strips on in a clockwise direction – starting with G then H then A and lastly B. Then on 2b you’ll sew the D strip onto the left side of the IE block. ![]() So – start by sewing the ‘I’ squares to the E strips. These blocks are basically the same – they’re just mirror images of each other. Next – let’s make our trunk log cabins – block 2b and 2c. ![]() Repeat this and make a total of 4 log cabin blocks for the tree (green) and 4 log cabin blocks for the background (cream). The last strip to sew on in the B strip! You now have a 6.5” log cabin square. Are you starting to see the pattern? Next add a C strip. Continuing clockwise, sew the second E block on. Always press towards the last strip you sewed on. Next, sew an E block to your two F blocks. Next – take your two F blocks and sew them together. Start by laying out your fabrics in the orientation you’d like to sew them together. I’ll walk you through the log cabin process with pictures of each step as the log cabins are added on. We’ll be making 4 in beiges and 4 in greens. These are completely standard log cabins. We’ll start by making all the number 1 blocks. *Blocks 3a and 4a have one slight non-standard log cabin piecing right at the very end of the block construction. The differences are basically just in color or strip size – each one will be pieced with a standard* log cabin method. There are four slightly different blocks that will be made. DirectionsĮvery piece for this quilt is a log cabin block. As you piece your blocks you can pull from your piles as necessary. Ornaments (reds) 8 – 1.5” squares (F) Trunk (browns) 2 – 1.5” X 6.5” rectangles (B)Ģ – 1.5” x 2.5” rectangles (E) Tree (greens) 10 – 1.5” X 6.5” rectangles (B)Ĥ – 1.5” x 1.5” squares (F) Background (creams/beiges) 4 – 1.5” X 6.5” rectangles (B)Ģ – 2.5” x 2.5” rectangles (I) Once you have them all cut I would recommend sorting them into piles by size and color to keep things straight. I would recommend doing this with as many different fabrics in that color group at possible. Also – I am giving you four basic colors to cut. I drew the design up in EQ7 and here are the following pieces you should cut so you’ll be prepared. Since these are all log cabin blocks the hardest part about making this quilt is cutting the correct colors of fabric in the correct sizes. By choosing the fabrics and layout correctly – traditional log cabin blocks can form a Christmas tree! So – today we’re making 16 log cabin blocks and making an adorable Christmas tree block! Have fun! Cutting Instructions I did things a little differently for this twisted traditional block. But have no fear – this isn’t the last you’ve heard from me!
