Art Gallery Fabrics’ Dreamin’ Vintage range is a contemporary collection inspired by the retro prints of the past. This quilt was influenced in a similar way, using a traditional log cabin design and modernising it with bright colours and busy prints. This simple block is quick and easy to make up and gives very effective results. The size is ideal for draping over a bed, but can be downscaled to make a lovely lap quilt.
Make a log cabin block
Prepare your fabrics by cutting a 6cm x 50cm strip from each different design. Choose two contrasting pieces and cut a 6cm square from each strip. Sew together and finger press the resulting rectangle flat.
Take another strip of fabric and pin right sides together with the right-hand long edge of the rectangle [1]. Stitch in place and finger press flat.
Use a ruler to draw a line across the fabric strip, level with the original rectangle, and cut to make a square panel [2].
