This is a fun technique if you like to sew. If you are a beginner I would suggest that you do a quicker project first and I have the link to my potholder video down below that is the same design as this quilt. Or make a table runner using this technique. This quilt measured 36”x 44” when done. If I had made 12 more squares it would have made a nice sized lap quilt. Measurements for all fabric and batting cuts are below:
Backing Squares-8“x8“
Batting squares-8“x8“
Binding-2-1/4“ strips, folded in half
Front sashing-1“ strips
Back sashing-1-1/2“ strips, folded in half
1-1/2“ Log Cabin strips in order of application:
Gray 1-1/2“ (square)
Teal 1-1/2“ (square)
Teal 2-1/2“
Gray 2-1/2“
Gray 3-1/2“
Teal 3-1/2“
Teal 4-1/2“
Gray 4-1/2“
Gray 5-1/2“
Teal 5-1/2“
Teal 6-1/2“
Gray 6-1/2“
Gray 7-1/2“
What I like to do is after the first seam of the two 1-1/2” squares I then make sure that the teal square is on top. Then I proceed with the teal 2-1/2” square on the right side and work my way clockwise with the rest of the strips.
Below is approximate amounts for different sized quilts:
Twin-117 blocks
Full-143 blocks
Queen-168 blocks
King-196 blocks
