Curvy log cabin quilts

I recently finished my curvy log cabin quilt top. I'm very happy to call it complete. It took quite a bit of time to construct, more so than I anticipated. This top is from a class I took from Jean Ann Wright using her 6" Curvy Log Cabin Ruler. Because you use the ruler there is a lot of stopping and squaring up, hence the time factor. I have since drawn up a similar paper piecing pattern in my EQ program to use if I should ever make another. I'll be selling my ruler off at our guild's yard…

Last week I shared my step by step tutorial for the gorgeous Log Cabin block, and I'm sure you've been sewing up a storm and made a huge pile of your own blocks. ;) So, what now? What do you do with these blocks? How do you lay them out into a quilt design? Today I'm going to show you how one of these Classic Quilt Blocks can create at least fifteen stunning and unique quilt designs. One of the reasons I love this block so much is its versatility. It may be a simple block, but it creates…

This pattern is created by using the Creative Grids 8″ Curvy Log Cabin ruler. The narrow fabric strips are Grunge Dots and the wide strips are fabrics by Kaffe Fassett. I ironed the backing f…

I had the most fun last month! I was fortunate enough to be asked to quilt two sample quilts for pattern designer Janet Houts. She was making quilts for her sister, Jean Ann Wright, to demonstrate the versatile use of Jean's new Curvy Log Cabin ruler. Designed and pieced by Janet Houts and quilted by Barb Neiwert The design of the ruler creates a pleasing visual slant that gives the traditional log cabin a modern twist. What fun! Rainbow Swirls designed and pieced by Jean Ann Wright And…

This is for a CURVY log cabin - not a regular log cabin. I had a request for this one so I thought I'd post it! The varying width of the two sides of the strips gives the impression of a curve to the finished blocks. You can place the blocks so that "circles" pop out from the pattern, or so that a flower effect can happen - use the coloring sheets to plan your colors ahead of time for the effect you're wanting. There are 2 versions included - one with more "rounds" then the other for greater…

I love looking at the quilt postings on Pinterest. Here is one I found made using my Curvy Log Cabin ruler and my Rainbow Swirls pattern. It...

You've come to a point where some quilting patterns are not challenging anymore. So, why not try these log cabin quilt patterns we've collected in this post?

The Curved Log Cabin I made for our neighbors for Christmas is finally done. It took a few days for me to hand hem the binding but I enjoy the process so much it was worth it. I wanted to make a Christmas quilt that wasn't totally Ho-Ho-Ho. The fabric I chose is the luscious Incarnadine line by Robyn Pandolph. The cream fabric is French Vanilla by RJR. I seem to have a knack for falling in love with discontinued fabrics, but after a bit of internet searching I was able to come up with enough…

If you can believe what is on the internet (ever) then you might know that the log cabin quilt dates back further than the pioneer days in the United States. Supposedly, similar designs were found…
