That could almost be a pretty flower!
Interesting design above.
Crisscross design is also interesting!
Designs in this project file would be great for sports fans who barrack for the red and white teams.
My favourite for this week’s quilter’s is the first design above.
More Log Cabin design variations mid week, next week, so you can have a five minute coffee break looking at some quilt designs.

Three different colorings of the basic Log Cabin block used in this project file, the half and half light and dark block, plus all light and all dark.

The second has just four dark blocks.
Twelve dark, twelve light ….
… eight all dark.
Sixteen light and four dark in the last design.

The design above are all identical pieced Log Cabin blocks, but they have been twisted and turned to create something totally different ...

Not a big variety of blocks in this project file, and the fabric choices are the same in each and every design.
However, though sometimes the designs change very little, …
… the blocks are just twisted this way and that …
… other times there are big changes.
Log Cabin blocks are one of the most used designs around, and I am sharing these designs to remind you that there are many, many ways to arrange even the simplest collection of blocks to create a wide variety of quilts.
Bottom left is my favourite design in this lot. More Log Cabin variations mid ...

The theme of the week is red and white quilts, and the local sports colours are red and white, and so a new project file was born yesterday so it could make it’s first appearance today.
This project has just three colourways of the Log Cabin block … red and white, all red and all white.
Love the third design.
I am often disappointed with the variety of designs in real quilts I see in exhibitions, in magazines and books, but then I love a few of the favourites from way back when I am not playing with blocks to ...
