Simple Block Log Cabin Quilt using 2 1/2" Strips from Your Scraps
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- Looking for a simple block? Have a lot of scraps? This is the pattern for you! No rules - just a great scrap stash buster. You can cut your scraps into any size strip you wish. And additionally, I am going to make mine wonky. Again, you can make yours wonky or leave it conventional. This is a wonderful pattern because it isn't really a pattern, but more a list of suggestions than a set of rules. So let's break some rules and make a scrappy wonky log cabin quilt.

Yes please a tutorial using the wonky square. Thank for showing us how to make a wonky log cabin square/quilt.
will do!
You are so laid back, easy going and real!!! It’s so refreshing in the quilting world. I am so glad I found your channel because you make quilting so freeing. You make quilting seem doable! Not intimidating!! Thanks April!!!! We love YOU!!!
Thank you so much!
I follow the chocolate rule completely. That is one rule I won't break. 1 a day always. Yummmm
Love it
Wonky is ALWAYS better! 😂 the scrappy and more mismatched the better!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I am a Functioning Hoarder, as well. With a glass jar collection that drives my family nuts. I do dust them to admire whatever I have stashed into them. Shelves! Lol.
I love your humor! Please keep being you.
Thanks for sharing!!
I was doing a wonky log cabin and added an extra piece to the center. So there were 5 pieces around the center square. And it ended up looking kind of like a rose. So I called it my wild rose block and added some wonky cut leaves too! Hi to Maxine and Oliver❤
My first thought was, "I love April's videos but she lost me at wonky" log cabin block. Then I read this and thought I might just have to try it !
@@susanmcinroy5428 Thank you. Have fun.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Love your t-shirt. Will miss Ted Lasso so much😢
me too! best show ever!
Whew! I was so relieved when you decided not to cut up that beautiful horse print! Great video, always fun watching you create!
Ha ha. My mother in law would have killed me symbolically. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
April, I just finished my scrappy quilt. I saved all of my scraps from 2020 to 2022. It came out busy and crazy, but I love it.
best kind!!!
These are fun projects since you just grab, sew, cut, repeat. When I do this I place my rotating mat next to my sewing machine, so II don’t have to get up from the machine unlessI want to. That makeweight quick work and less energy. Love your channel, must tell my husband that you save your ribbon too. Lol. Your scrap pile is akin to mine, plus enough pre-cuts, kits and other fabric to last forty years without another purchase. However, I can’t seem to pass up new fabric, guess I am a fabriholic. Loved the video.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I’m a “functioning hoarder” too! Love the idea of putting fabric strips in a glass jar BUT yes, another thing to dust or look at the dust!!!😂 love that-so very much relatable!!! Sadly!!
Love scrappy quilts. My grandma would always make nine-patch quilts from scraps leftover that she had sewn my sister’s and my clothes. Enjoyed finding the scraps that were a favorite dress or top.
Another great idea! As always, enjoyed watching your video!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

Adorable quilt! I would like to see a tutorial using the wonky ruler. I don't have many rulers and I'd like to know if it would be easier with the wonky ruler or should I invest in a few more regular square rulers 🤔
noted! coming soon!
Just the video I needed today! I have bags of scraps to use. And, yes, please make a tutorial with the wonky ruler. (My blocks are usually wonky without even trying.) Love all of your videos - and your Christmas tree.
Mine too 😂😂
Will do!!
Love it. Please do a video with the wonky ruler. Would love to see how it works.

I love the scrappy log cabin
Thank you
I like this quilt! I think it would be great for a teen! Thanks, April! I enjoyed the video…but, I always do!
I think so too!
A thin spray of Flexseal on the bottom of your ruler helps stop slipping.
awesome tip!
Love how you did the wonky, scrappy log cabin. I would love to see a tutorial on the wonky ruler. Thank you for your time and design inspiration. Have a good day.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I really like it! I have a whole tub of 2 1/2" strips just waiting for a project like this. Thanks for sharing.

Your quilt top is so bright and happy. Thanks for sharing. Take care and blessings to y'all.

Oh April love your tutorials I watch more than once.
Thank you so much! Wow!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I love this quilt top! Scrappy is much fun!
I totally agree!
from Gerry- It looks great. I bought the wonky ruler and made the traditional log cabin with light and dark. It is gorgeous. However, I love how you did yours and I'm sure I will copy what you did. I enjoy watching you work. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

I love this scrappy log cabin quilt. I may have to do one of these. Thanks, you have a wonderful day.
Thank you! You too!
Thx for explaining how the Accuquilt GO! works.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
🥰😍🤩 More April, give me more!
April, I love your quilting channel! You may want to invest in some Quilter Select rulers. Their non slip coating, makes using them a game changer.
I have some-- love them❤️
I LOVE it!! Reminds me of the 89’s trend of paint splattered clothes.
lol
yes!
Scrappy quilts are fun they are the quilts of projects past. Love you kept the ribbon too, I would’ve, there is a fair bit of cutting and discarding of ribbon on TH-cam and really you never know when it is gonna come in handy
absolutely
I like making log cabin quilts but never thought about wonky. Thank you. Love watching your channel. It makes my day.
I'm so glad!
Thanks for watching❤️
Scrappy is Happy! Joy Filled!!!
Thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️
Love your way of doing things with fabric and your bloopers. From Lillian, Limpopo, South Africa
Thank you so much!
AND
Thanks for watching my channel!
This looks great, and I really like the centers being wonky. Thanks for the tutorial. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing it God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I’m not a fan of super scrappy projects (I like matchy-matchy) but the wonkiness makes it work. I think I’ll try it.
So fun!!!
Thank you so much for watching my channel ❤️
You are such a wonderful teacher. I would love to see a tutorial on the wonky ruler. I think quilts like these would be great charity quilts.
Thank you! Will do!
I like the idea of just jumping in and being creative with scraps. Just like what you did today making a wonky log cabin. I would love to see your tutorial with the creative grid wonky log cabin tool.
Your idea has given me some inspiration to try it.
thank you for sharing and always making it fun! 😉
will do
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I love the bright colors in your blocks, April. They make the other strips 'pop', while, also, toning them down! (I realize that sentence sounds convoluted!!!) Yes...please make a video with the wonky ruler!
will do!
Love using scraps and the Accuquilt. I square up my blocks using the 6.5 square out of the 12" Qube die. Painters tape applied to the die give me a consistent starting point. Great for charity quilts. Keep these videos coming.
love this!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
April, this turned out so CUTE!! Yes, I would love to see how the ruler is used. Thanks for the videos - I love watching and you give me so many ideas!!
perfect!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Love watching and love the wonky blocks 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much and Thanks for watching my channel. 💜
Really Love this one ❤
Glad you like it!
You should put that ribbon in your jar of strips!!! Always look forward to relaxing with a great video from you. Just WONDERFUL!!! i was always slideing my ruler so I went to the Quilters Select. Yes they are more expensive but I use them almost every day for some reason or other. Lots of use out of them. I love the scrappy look. I would love for you to show all of us how to use the new ruler.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Love the wonky block. I have the Creative Grids Wonky Log Cabin and would LOVE to see a tutorial from you on how to use it. I really want my block to be bigger than 10" finished. Learned your technique of adding a 2.5" strip to make it bigger. Also, I have the Accuquilt Go system and love it. Would really like more of your tutorials using the various dies as I find your tutorials to be more practical (and fun) than those on the Accuquilt site. Thanks for all you do to make quilting so fun.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Man this is a great way to do wonky! No guess work less frustration, thanks,

I love scrappy. I’m making one atm. Purple 5“ centre and log cabin in blacks and whites around. Joined with the deep purple “ sashing. I think a black Sashing on yours would really make those wonky blocks pop.
love that idea
I really like the wonky block.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

Oh April this is turning out so gorgeous. I love your fabric stash collection. You have really nice pieces going into your squares. I’m so impressed. I think this is one of the most beautiful quilts. I’ve watched you make. Congratulations on such a winner. and just think it’s a stash buster. Wow.😊

❤I love your quilt top. Thanks for sharing, you are fun to watch, and do a great job!
Thank you so much!
I decided to go through my scraps and make all sizes of precuts! Well I don’t have a fancy cutting machine but I have just about every ruler made. I am now into “4” days of cutting. I have massive amounts of jelly roll strips, 10”, 5”, 4 1/2”, 3” and 2” squares. I sorted all scraps by color and kept larger pieces that I use for projects like hats, handbags, totes, pouches etc. I would like to say I have finished but still have 3 boxes left. And now guess what, I just ordered some more fabric from Donna Jordon (couldn’t resist the sale) I guess I just have to feed my habit LOL 😆 Just love watching your videos ❤
Wow. You are Uber organized! That is awesome. I have a video coming up for those 2 1/2” strips. I need to follow your lead on the scraps.
Thank you for being awesome! I have been watching your channel since I started quilting. I live in Blackpool in the UK 🇬🇧 😊
Thank you so much!
