UPDATE 02/03/2020 - please note that this was designed as a scrap buster block. Fabric requirements for a whole quilt have never been published. Please note that this pattern is copyrighted and may not be shared. Isn't this just so sweet? If you would like to make a block for a pillow or enough for a whole quilt, here is how to make the block: Start out by picking a background fabric or two. I am making my quilt with three different grey & white low volumes. Next, gather up some 2 1/2 inch strips of reds and pinks (and any other scraps you would like to include). Hint: This is a great way to use a jellyroll! For one block, you need to cut the following: Background Fabric: A - (1) - 4 1/2 inch square B - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares - (draw a diagonal line on each) Scrappy Reds and Pinks: C - (4) - 2 1/2 inch squares D -(4) - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strips E -(2) - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strips F -(2) - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strips G - (1) - 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip Ready to start sewing? All seams are 1/4 inch. Press as desired. I tend to press to the darker fabric. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. This is the center of your heart or the beginning of your heart's ventricles for all of you with medical backgrounds. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the top of your heart's ventricles and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch strip to the right of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the bottom of your heart's ventricles and press Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch strip to the left of your heart's ventricles and press Your hearts ventricles should now measure 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. Now we are going to sew together your hearts atriums. Sew 2 piece 2 - 2 1/2 inch squares together and press the seams. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the top of the your first two pieces and press. Sew 1 - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch strip to the left side of your heart's atriums and press. Easy peasy thus far right? Next, we are going to get a tad tricky... Take 1 - 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and place it right sides together on the top left corner of the atrium as shown. Sew on the diagonal line. Trim to 1/4 inch and press up. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat on the top left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take another 2 1/2 inch square of your background fabric and repeat for the bottom left corner of your heart's ventricles. Take the 4 1/2 inch square of background fabric and sew it to the left side of your heart's atriums. Sew right sides together the atrium to the ventricles. Sew the 2 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch strip to the right side of your heart and press Take the last 2 1/2 inch square of background fabric on the top right of the heart and sew on the diagonal line, trim to 1/4 inch and press open. Tad- da! You have one 12 1/2 inch Scrappy Log Cabin Block completed! I have 8 hearts completed as of today...please pardon my tacky design wall. If you make a block please tag me on Instagram @neverlandstiches so I can see... Thanks for visiting and happy sewing... Lisa Jo Neverlandstitches

Free Log Cabin Block Pattern. As I have been making my blocks with random strips of my fabrics it has been a lesson in colour combinations, accurate 1/4 inch seams, cutting accuracy etc etc. Apart from the obvious lessons it has also been a pleasure to see fabrics that have been tucked away for a rainy day or that special quilt being used. It is so nice to have these gorgeous fabrics being used and documented in this quilt. My blocks are made with strips cut 1.5 inches wide. Separate your fabrics into light and dark. A squares cut (two) squares one Red, one light 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches B Cut (two) light strips 2.5 inches C Cut (two) Dark strips 3.5 inches D Cut (two) light strips 4.5 inches E Cut (two) Dark strips 5.5 inches F Cut (two) Light Strips 6.5 inches G Cut (one) Strip 7.5 inches. Sew your A squares together. Add B pieces, then C pieces, then D pieces, continue adding rounds till finished. This makes a 7 inch block, it is easy to change the size just keep adding rounds for a larger block. Or if you would like a smaller block add less rounds. There are many ways to arrange your blocks, I suggest making a few first then playingwith them on a design wall to see which arrangement you like best. As I am still deciding on this you will need to wait until my next post to see how I have arranged my Log Cabin Blocks. I am sure you must have some of these fabrics tucked away in your stash, it is such fun to see what we all have. Do you have any favorite's ? Happy Stitching Sharon
