That’s where the name Lucky Log Cabins comes from.Ī true log cabin quilt block is constructed by continuing to add “logs” to each side as the block grows. ![]() However, when I was creating this quilt, the fact that the end block looked similar to log cabins felt like a lucky find. It’s not a true log cabin quilt as the construction is a bit different. Lucky Log Cabins is a log cabin look alike. I might try that some day with all of my extra ombre fabric stash. I think Lucky Log Cabins would look really good with a completely random placement too! With each block being a mix of colors and no ombre fade. So if you want to do something similar, keep your colors and strips in that general order as you work on the quilt. I stuck with the color order in the original bundle. I arranged my quilt blocks in an Ombre Fade. So my color placement isn’t perfect but the nice thing about Ombre is that in the end it’s going to look super cool! There is no need to overthink Ombre! Modern Ombre Fade Quilt You can see some of my blocks actually bleed into another color. ![]() Just flip the strips so the light and darks are on opposite sides as you piece your strip sets. I placed like colors together when making my blocks and a lot of times the blocks were made from just one or two different fat quarters. It’s a quick and easy quilt because it has a lot of chain piecing and basically random piecing.

I wanted to use more of the florals and less of the low volume fabrics. There are so many layout options with a log cabin quilt, I decided to go with the first layout pictured.Īs soon as I finished this one, I decided to use my stash of Bari J fabric to make another one, this one slightly different. I calculated that it took 12 minutes to sew and iron each block, that makes for a quick quilt because there are only 16 blocks in this quilt. Layer your fat quarters and cut with a sharp rotary blade and lay all of your blocks out in rows, so you can piece easily. I needed 16 colourful fat quarters and 10 low volume fat quarters.īelow are my fabric choices for the colourful fat quarters. Unfortunately my fat quarters were not all 18″ wide, so I had to change my original layout idea and come up with a new layout that involved piecing one of the longest strips. I calculated how many fat quarters I would need for the quilt and then worked out how to cut them to give the best results. I had been given some beautiful Aquarelle fat quarters from a fabric distributor and wanted to showcase them in this quilt. I have made another one in the past with Alison Glass fabric that I loved, but for this one I wanted to make it quickly because I had so many projects on the go and deadlines to meet. The big log cabin quilt came about because I wanted to make a new couch quilt quickly.
