Ein lebendiges Log-Cabin-Quilt-Design – kostenloses Muster

Log Cabin quilt blocks have become very popular over the years and for a good reason! It’s such a simple pattern that can be sewn in any size and gets completed in just a matter of an hour or less.

It’s also a repetitive pattern, so once you get the hang of it, you can keep making more and more of these blocks and add any colors you’d like to it!

In this post, I’ll be showing you a more unique and challenging Log Cabin quilt pattern that is for intermediate to advance level quilters. The reason why it’s more advanced is because not every piece is the same size, as is therefore not a repetitive process, but the result is a beautiful looking Log Cabin design!

This is a free quilt pattern where you can follow the instructions from this blog post, or you can purchase the printable version of this design below.

Quilt Assembly

Refer to the quilt photo for placement of fabrics as this is not a regular log cabin design!

Keep adding the pieces according to their numbers. When the block is complete it should measure 30” x 27”square.

Sewing Instructions

• Log cabin blocks are pieced from the center outwards, so start with the center piece, which is piece 1.
• Take the piece 1 and 2, put the right sides together and pin them.
• Stitch along the long edge, 1/4” from the edge. Press Open the seams.

Now that we’ve got the center two pieces together, it’s time to add another “log”.
Take piece 3 and repeat the same process.

Keep adding the pieces according to their numbers until the block is complete.
Refer to the diagram for correct order.

Repeat all the steps to make 12 blocks.

Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out all the blocks.

Join rows to complete quilt top.

Press the seams open.

Finish Quilt

To finish the quilt, you’ll need quilt top, batting and fabric for backing (same size as the quilt top).

Assemble The Quilt Layers

Prepare the quilt sandwich (marked quilt top, batting, and backing).

Pin them together.

Set Up Quilt Machine

Remove presser foot and install a walking foot. Add a new machine needle, and thread the machine and bobbin with 50-weight,
100% cotton thread.

Use a quilt-sandwich swatch to test thread/needle/tension combination and stitch length.

Begin Quilting

For quilting, it’s the best option to choose wavy lines because stitching continuous wavy lines in a free-form manner gives a sense
of movement across the quilt and sharply contrasts the linear design of the Log Cabin blocks.

Stitch faster than you normally would to achieve smoother curves. Stitching slower will result in more jagged lines. Practicing on a
sample piece will help you get the rhythm. Because this design is free-form, you control the depth and length of the curves.

Begin stitching on one edge, working horizontally from one edge of the quilt to the other.
Follow the red arrow shown in the diagram.

Pivot and repeat step 1 to stitch another curved line next to the one just quilted.
Follow the red arrow shown in the diagram.

Continue stitching to complete free-motion quilting design. Baste the remaining unstitched edges.

Binding

To finish the quilt, take the bias binding tape and bind all the outer edges.
