The Log Cabin quilt block, a widely recognized and interpreted staple of quilting, lends itself to enchanting creative versatility. This workshop is an invitation to explore this technique by creating a scrappy, make-do, giant block that stretches the imagination and allows the sewist the creative freedom that it inspires, whether you choose consistent palettes or scrappily-pieced color studies. You will emerge from this adventure with techniques for achieving consistent, rhythmic lines that feel exploratory and satisfying.
