Log Cabin Pattern

The Log Cabin pattern is a traditional quilt design featuring blocks that resemble a log cabin's structure. Each block is constructed from strips of fabric layered around a central square, creating a pattern of concentric rectangles that represent the “logs.” The arrangement often highlights a contrasting color (such as red or darker fabric) at one corner, symbolizing a hearth or the rising sun. This pattern emphasizes geometric simplicity and can be arranged in various configurations, such as diamonds or other layouts, to produce visually striking quilts that showcase craftsmanship and creative use of color.
