APRIL BLOTTO BLOCK - Log Cabin

.

ONE BLOCK FOR ONE CHANCE …. LIMIT OF FIVE CHANCES … 

You can make more if you want. 

12.5 inch unfinished / 12 inch finished

Center:    

LOG CABIN with a YELLOW 4 inch finished center ( patch 4.5in x 4.5 in) to allow applique, embroidery, fancy stitching or showing off free motion quilting skills. 

LOG STRIPS are 2.5 inches in width … length are indicated on the picture below. 

Colors: 

Light side …. 

White, white on white, cream, ecru, … tiny prints, dots, text as long as it is not overwhelming….. needs to read light. 

Dark side …. 

Medium dark to dark fabrics … traditional colors, deep jewel tones, batiks …. Reads more solid than print …. Save brights, novelty prints for another quilt.  Put lighter dark fabrics to the center and the darkest  strips to the out side as I think that gives a glow to the block.

The beauty of light and dark sided log cabin blocks at it allows so many different setting styles …  field and farrows, barn raising, windows, chevron, sunshine and shadows… just to name a few.
