    Lazy Log Cabin

    Laura Wasilowski

    FINISHED BLOCK: 6˝ × 6˝

    FINISHED WALL QUILT: 17˝ × 17˝

    The Log Cabin block can easily be adapted to fusing. Making the fused block is similar to the traditional construction process except for one important factor—the overlap replaces the stitched seam.

    Made by Laura Wasilowski

    LAURA WASILOWSKI is a renowned art quilter, instructor, businesswoman, and author. She creates hand-dyed fabrics and threads that she sews into whimsical pictorial art quilts. Laura lives in Elgin, Illinois.

    Materials

    CENTER SQUARE FABRIC: 8˝ × 8˝ of a light value color

    REVOLVING FABRICS: 8˝ × 8˝ each of 6 medium value colors

    BACKGROUND: 18˝ × 18˝

    BACKING: 18˝ × 18˝

    BINDING: 8˝ × 22˝

    PAPER-BACKED FUSIBLE WEB: 3 yards

    BATTING: 18˝ × 18˝

    Preparation

    Iron fusible web to all the fabrics—except the backing and binding fabric—and remove the paper backing (release paper) in one piece—you will need this to build your Log Cabin blocks.

    Making the Blocks

    1. Free-cut 1 strip about 1½˝ wide, then cut 4 squares measuring about 1½˝ × 1½˝ from the center square fabric.

    2. Free-cut 2 rectangular strips measuring about 1˝ × 8˝ from each of the 6 revolving fabrics.

    3. Free-cut strips measuring about ¾˝ × 8˝ or ½˝ × 8˝ from the remainder of each revolving fabric. The Log Cabin design will be more interesting if the revolving fabric strips are not all the same width. To add a little tilt to the cabin, taper the strips from a narrow width at one end to a wider width at the other end.

    4. Place a center square fabric in the middle of the release paper (the paper backing from the fusible web). Tack the fabric into place by lightly ironing it to the release paper—this is known as fuse-tacking.

    5. Place a revolving fabric strip on the left
