Log Cabin Quilt Tutorial

In early January 2022, Tracy from The Sewing Channel contacted me asking if I would be interested in participating in her second YouTube anniversary giveaway. I said yes! Her giveaway is running until February 13, 2022, so make sure to check out her video and find out how to enter! So exciting!


The interest in this quilt is amazing. I am both honored and blessed to be able to participate. Anywho, without any further babbling, here is the tutorial. Keep scrolling for the cutting list and some pictures to help you put it all together!


Here are the cutting instructions. I used a jelly roll for this project, so all of the pieces are 2.5" wide.


FOR EACH BLOCK, you will need sixteen pieces or "logs."


For the entire 16 block quilt (makes a 56.5 x 56.5 quilt top. *** PLEASE NOTE: YOU WILL NNEED EXTRA STRIPS. ONE JELLY ROLL ISN'T ENOUGH FOR THE ENTIRE 16 BLOCK QUILT.




This block is constructed in these steps:

Press toward the dark piece.



















Next, add the 4.5" strip to the right side. We will working counter clockwise around the unit. TIP: Use a test block as your guide!


Always press out toward the newly added "log."

Add the dark 6.5" strip to the left next. Remember to always press toward the newly added "log."













Add the 6.5" light strip to the bottom.
