Log Cabins


Fons and Porter have been sharing their quick techniques and excellent instruction methods for various quilt styles with us for years. Whether the quilt is a traditional style or a contempory one...their method of construction is always easy and quick. So, when approached about reviewing their latest booklet on Log Cabin quilts...I knew that I was in for a real treat. 
 
And, I was not disappointed. Plus, not only is this booklet a great piece of instructional eye candy...it is also free! All you need to do is sign up for their newsletter, to download it! And...since I already get their newsletter...I can say that "their newsletters are great just by themselves...so, it's super great to also get an inspirational and informative booklet too!".
This booklet has information about adding piping, trapunto, or even fancy fibers to log cabin quilts (or any other sytle too!). And, it includes a little about the history of log cabin style quilts...even I learned some new facts from that section...so, guess you can teach an ole dog new tricks!!
 
Log Cabins not your favorite style of block? That might change...when you see these different layouts and ideas. The booklet is packed full of gorgeous projects and colorful photos to inspire!
And, it also has ideas for different block settings...
 
with clear and complete instructions for the three major quilt projects! Each project is charted for multiple sizes, so really...it's instructions for dozens of quilts!
 
I give the Fons and Porter staff an "A" for producing such a great booklet. This 24-page booklet is a keeper! So, follow this link to download your own copy today...just register, and then download.
