You can totally have fun with this project!!! A scrappy Log Cabin is “sew” pretty! A traditional log cabin has a side with light fabrics, the other side is with darker fabrics, and the middle is a red square. Remember, I don’t believe in rules in quilting, just guidelines. Therefore, I am using a blue center. Contrast is key with this block. My fabrics are very traditional with some reproduction type of fabrics. But, you can use modern fabrics, seasonal fabrics, or anything that really makes your heart sing! The log cabin does stretch across all genres of quilting very well!
