Are you a “measure twice, cut once” quilter who finds peace in a perfectly nested seam? Or are you a “liberated” quilter who prefers to let the fabric fall where it make, embracing the beauty of the unexpected? Whichever path you choose Aunt Em’s Quarter Log Cabin Quilt Challenge is for you. 
Quarter Log Cabin Block
We are diving deep into the quarter log cabin block. It’s a versatile, dynamic block that can look like a traditional masterpiece or a modern work of art depending on how you approach it. Inside the adventure you’ll receive tutorials on how to help you choose your path.
- The Traditional Method- For those who love crisp lines, exact measurements and that classic log cabin glow.
- The Wonky Method- For those wo want to play with angles, varying widths and a “no rules” philosophy.
Ways to Play with the Quarter Log Cabin Block
You won’t just get the “how to.” You’ll discover the “what if?” Inside the adventure, you’ll gain insights on how to enhance this bock. We’ll explore.
- Color Play: How value (light to dark) changes the movement of the quilt.
- Scaling up: Playing with strip widths to create a sense of depth.
- Scrappy Textures: Learn how to piece your pieces by using strip sets or crumb fabric for individual logs. It’s a brilliant way to add a mosaic look to your block and use every last bit of your favorite fabric.
- The Big Picture: See how different rotations of the quarter log cabin block can create secondary patterns.
