You’ll agree log cabin is one of the most popular quilt blocks.
Today I’m trying a new kind that gives the appearance of curves even though it’s all made with strips of different widths.

I used 2 beautiful Michael basics collections that have a great range of colours to choose from:
Today we’re going to have fun with these two scrappy blocks: a star block and a pinwheel block.

If you’re a bit tired of doing the usual hexies, use two fabrics joined together.
For my project the fabrics are joined in the middle but you could choose to place the same anywhere really and come up with very interesting designs.
