I reallyl like this tutorial better than any other on the Log Cabin Block. She did the very best at explaining and showing me how to do this. I feel so much more confident and Cathy C,
Just as I’ve been ‘planning’ a log cabin, here you are, super helpful! Love how you walk us through each step and share with us that make a huge difference. Thank you! And great meeting you! 😊
More sewing machine manufacturers are adding 1/4" quilting foot to their machines at purchase. I got one with my new Brother and your video is the best I have found so far on log cabin blocks. Thank you so, so much!
Love your technique of not having to pre measure and cut every piece. I do like it when one half of the block is light and the other dark. Just a personal preference. Well done!
absolutely gorgeous. Love the technique because its free style, no need to cut all pieces in exact sizes. I hate everything traditional so this is perfect for me. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I love some of your tips, like not backstitching and cutting the pieces after they have been sewn on. That saves a lot of time pre-cutting.
I really do appreciate your teaching. I love what you have saying and showing us..I have done several quilts like these. I love all the different colors and use all of them. Also, when I have scraps, I like to make pillows.......either for a gift of some size.....or there are many animals out there that would to have a wonderful pillow......I never throw out any scraps. I always use them. Thanks again.
Okay I have to say you made me laugh when you kept referring to your fabric as this guy, he or him. “Give him a chop” 😹 very easy to follow tutorial. Thank you 💕
I loved your video and sooo appreciate the fact that you are showing us how to do this log cabin w/o having to buy every single size log cabin ruler. I get frustrated learning a technique only to find that I need to buy more rulers and more tools! Thx for simplifying for my simple mind.
Totally love the way this tutorial is filmed. Love the overview, it makes things doubly easy to understand. I'm going to try this block ASAP. Thank you so much
I've been looking for an easy pattern to use for my first full size quilt. This looks like the best choice for me. I have fabric from past projects dating back to the 80's when I sewed my boys play clothes. I also have scraps from other projects that will work for this pattern. Thank you for your tutorial.
This is the first time I’ve watched your videos and love the way you show everything as you are doing it. A lot of people don’t take the time for all that. Thank you! I make the log cabin block using 3 inch middle and 2 1/2” strips, they come out great also. And I’ve made half of block assorted whites and the other side in prints. I love that look too because you can turn blocks around and get different looks. Please do a bear claw block for me so I can see what it looks like and how it’s made. Also like the courthouse steps blocks.
I’m new to quilting and even by following your instructions, which are perfect by the way, my final square was all wonky and didn’t end up with a 12x12, but rather 11 1/4 x 11 1/4. My first square was about 6x6. And I’m using a 1/4 in. Foot, so no idea what i did wrong. I don’t want to give up though, I’ll try and make my second square better than the first
I’ve been sewing since I was 9 never thought I’ll find another young one starter. I would make my own Barbie doll clothes and furniture because I’m from a family of 12 children there was not a lot of money.
Love to watch you; so relaxed and your work area is perfect for your project. It really saves time when you don't have to get 'up to press', then 'up to cut', then back to the machine. I'm taking this whole month to thin my stash and this looks like a good place to start.
Great video! Question - you showed how to check previous seams when trimming to make sure they are parallel (not wonky because of "stack and whack") but you don't show how to fix it if it's off. Suggestions?
Can I make this with left over 2 1/2 strips? Would I need to change the 3 1/2 center piece? This looks like great fun. Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial!

She uses 2" strips that finish 1 1/2", that's how she can get a final 12" block (3" of the finished central square + 3 strips either side that finish 1 1/2" each strip).
Hi,Yes, you could absolutely use this technique and attach strips in varying widths, however it would just no longer be a traditional log cabin quilt block. Cheers, Ashley

thanks for making this block understandable. It's not rocket science, but you made it rock for me.
Loved your easy way to make a log cabin!! Thank you ! I’m going to start making a block the way you just did.
I LOVE THIS!!! I've seen so many other tutorials that leave my head spinning. This is amazing!
Fantastic video! I finally understand the log cabin quilt. You did a great job of teaching!
This is an excellent video. It is so clear and easy to follow! I can't wait to try it!

Thanks so much! I will forward your request along to our experts. Please continue watching for new content. Thanks!
It's such a brilliant idea to leave the edges of each strip a little longer!
I love the detail sometime other teachers skip over details and I learn from seeing details, Thank You 😊
Thank you for your instructions.
You are welcome!
This is a brilliant video. Your method is the best I've seen - you have convinced me that I need to make some of these blocks. Thank you, thank you!
Love that every piece does not have to be pre-measured.
Wonderful tutorial. You were very detailed and that helped me immeasurably!
I loved this tutorial!
very well taught.... I am new to quilting...your video was so easy to follow..Thank You So Much!!!!!!!
Thank you for your tips. I like your ways of pressing, lining-up, and your attention to precision in each step.
Thanks for sharing great instructions ❤❤

Such a great tip; pinning that seam so it doesn't flip on you! :)
Love listening how you explain, thank you so much!
I’ve been sewing since I was 9 never thought I’ll find another young one starter. I would make my own Barbie doll clothes and furniture because I’m from a family of 12 children there was not a lot of money.
Another great idea is to save the tiny cuts to stuff a pillow with. Then you really haven't put any waste in the land fill
Love to watch you; so relaxed and your work area is perfect for your project. It really saves time when you don't have to get 'up to press', then 'up to cut', then back to the machine. I'm taking this whole month to thin my stash and this looks like a good place to start.
Well done! So easy to follow 😘👍🏻

Just a note. Notice that when you add the 4th log and all the rest, you always add a new log on the side with the two seams.
That Pfaff sure sounds sweeeeet.

Love this technique. Can this be done with strip pieced, making multiple blocks as you go?
Hello Sharon,
Yes, any time you can stitch off the edge of your work you can strip piece.Cheers,

Click the dots and it will show captions button
Great job your block is so pretty. Great teacher.
very nice . you are very beautiful like our indian film star.
Great instruction. How do we find more videos by you?
Hello Dorene, you can search for "Aurora Sisneros" to find more videos! th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=aurora+sisneros
Your sewing machine is quiet, do you recommend it for a beginner?
My stack and whack pile is often unsquared which you pay for later. THANKS!
👏😊
Love the idea. How wide are the strips you are using? I know the center is three and a half inches square.
Mary Kay Harman I think she said that she was using 2" strips at the very first of the video.
+Mary Kay Harman 2.5in strips to make 2in finished strips.
She uses 2" strips that finish 1 1/2", that's how she can get a final 12" block (3" of the finished central square + 3 strips either side that finish 1 1/2" each strip).
Hi there I would like to know if you prewash your fabrics
Nicely taught. Can a log cabin block be achieved with strips of varying widths in the same block if they are cut straight?
Hi,Yes, you could absolutely use this technique and attach strips in varying widths, however it would just no longer be a traditional log cabin quilt block.
Cheers,
Ashley
Curvy log cabin might be what you want. Still square but looks curvy
I am also looking for a coloring book type cabin quilt square.

Do all log cabin blocks get sewed on the same side and continue to the right?
