This quilt pattern popularly known as Log Cabin is one many American quiltmakers assume was home-grown. But the Log Cabin quilt pattern may in fact have originated on a tiny island off the coast of England! Called the Roof Tile pattern on the Isle of Man (located between Ireland and England), the pleated quilt-as-you-go block is constructed (pieced) and quilted all at the same time and does not use batting.

The Antique English Pleated Log Cabin Block’s casual sewing is an excellent introduction to hand stitching and has the advantage of being totally portable for today’s busy quiltmakers. This pattern is a super addition to your quilting skills and one you can teach kids and do at any time and any place.

Stars and chains in blues and neutrals are sure to capture any star-lover’s fancy! What a great way to clear out scraps by choosing two color families: A foreground (Blue) and a background (Neutral) Students will learn the basics of string piecing along with learning to use the Easy Angle ruler to create half square triangle units from 2 1/2″ scrap strips. This quilt was a great way for me to use a large variety of blue and neutral scraps for the half-square triangles, and even more scrap fun clearing out a whole box of neutral strings used in the alternate block areas.
