Quilty: How to make a Curved Log Cabin Quilt Block

A log cabin quilt is a thing of beauty to behold, and there are as many versions of this classic pattern as there are colors in your scrap basket. On this episode of Quilty, Mary takes you through the making of a block from Blue Underground's "Curved Log Cabin" pattern. Like any log cabin quilt, this is not a tough technique -- it just requires some organization and patience. Learn about cutting strips, sewing "logs" and building this gorgeous optical illusion block by block.

[@NanaSW55]

Thank you I have always want to make this type of quilt. I understand how it makes the curve now. Also, some people just don't understand your taking your time to show this free. ignore their rude statements Thanks

Found the pattern and made this in same colors. I love it! Log cabins are so fast and easy....my favorite as I was born in one!

[@karenaburchfield769]

Where did you find the pattern you used?

[@Whitney_Sews]

I love it! The log cabin quilt was the first one my mom ever made...using thrifted plaid shirts for material. So I'm always love the log cabin design. This is a really cool variation of the traditional design!

[@MomandPopCraft]

Thank you! I love log cabin quilts and am eager to make one like this now.

I love this quilt! Would love to make it but I can't find any directions for the Curved Log Cabin pattern. Do you have the pattern available online or where I could get it? Your tutorials are great. They make me want to make all the quilts and the fabrics are wonderful! Thanks so much for your inspiration....

The sample blocks shown near the end are both missing the last skinny strip. Should be 4 skinny strips each side of the center square I believe.

[@patsysweetapple7434]

What size is your Center square...2 or 2 1/2...love it lovely video - wonderful quilt....well done...

Where can one purchase your quilts? Is there a catalogue? Thank you

[@debrakellerman7364]

Thank you Mary Fons. Was your surname shortened?

[@Trayne1837]

It would take less time and it is easier then to put together if you just do 1.5 inch strips.(1.5 x45 ")) and 2.5 inch strips (2.5 x45") cutting each strip to exact length would take way to much time....also I would sew several blocks up at a time . Taking the center block and sewing maybe three at a time to the first log etc as you go around. Much more efficient
The way you are doing it would take forever

[@Fliberbizigit]

Me also!

[@barbarawebb4916]

Where to you get that pattern

[@susieannei5641]

back when they gave free info away

[@valeriedaniels3804]

Wow, I'm shocked by all the ads time consuming even when I skipped the initial ones. I thought that should have showed sewing of at least 4 strips on, as it was not as clear as it was supposed to be. Nothing said about going clockwise or counter clockwise. Never listed the width of the wider strip. So much time spent explaining things that weren't necessary, but left out the most essentials.

[@debrakirkwood4787]

watch and you can see it counter clockwise

[@tomib6186]

Just stand still

We need a new spokesperson. Just not your niche.
