Traditional Log Cabin Technique Sheet
DTEC32
$ 8.25
Quilters love log cabin blocks. A Log Cabin block consists of a center square with a series of "logs" sewn around all four sides of the square. Sounds easy, but anyone who has tried to make them knows they are a challenge to get sized perfectly. Our technique has you strip piece each round of oversized logs, then trim after each round and once again at the end. The final trim assures your finished block is the correct size. A beloved technique made even better. What’s not to love!

The Non Mirror Image Combo Units Technique Sheet (phew, what a mouthful that name is!) shows you the process to make four identical combination units all at once. This process is invaluable when you're making pinwheels or any block for your quilt in which you want all the blocks to "spin" the same direction. And just like all of our other techniques, the units are made slightly oversized so you'll be able to trim them down to perfection using the Tucker Trimmer.
