The log cabin is one of the classic quilt-block patterns—it's simple but versatile, and popular with traditional and modern quilters. With log cabin blocks, the setting determines the overall effect; Houts and Wright explore a variety of settings, including traditional and contemporary effects. Since a basic log cabin block is essentially a half-dark/half-light square, the possibilities are many. Step-by-step directions for piecing log cabin, half log cabin, and courthouse steps blocks are included.
VERDICT Log cabin blocks are tried and true, and Houts and Wright give quilters plenty of options for creative use of this classic patchwork staple.
