Let's make a Wonky Log Cabin Block! Scrap-busting block!

This is fun and care free block. Your daughter’s quilt is so pretty. Thank you for showing us how to construct this block.

So simple to make!

And here comes Mr. Tiggs right onto the fabric! I love this guy!!!

Right into the middle of things!

[@Scrappyendings]

As you can tell from my online moniker I LOVE scrappy. The log cabin block, whether wonky or not, makes a great scrappy quilt. I love your daughter's quilt.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Log Cabins are great scrap blocks!

[@claudiastevens9628]

Another fun quilt to sew. Corey I just received your OH Happy Day! book and am ready to make the Slow Down turtle quilt. I watch Tammi Earnest on KZbin and she shows her projects and customers quilts that she longarms. A few weeks ago Slow Down was a featured quilt and was so cute I had to send for your book. So on her March 21st KZbin, a customer had done a sampler out of the same book. What a bonus that was for me. Your patterns are so fun and now a log cabin that I will try too. My Saturday morning is complete by watching your video. Thanks.

[@CorianderQuilts]

That is such a fun quilt! I hosted the Oh, Happy Day sampler sew along here on the KZbin channel. If you want to go back and follow along, all of the videos to make the sampler using the blocks from the book are still here (as well as the finishing instructions): kzbin.info/aero/PLcvB3TuqwfMzjTvb11UIEF9ZZ3q3Ffk38

[@quiltgram3056]

Thanks as I'm not aware of this book and will definitely check it out and I also love her fabrics.

[@SharonCarbine]

Excellent demonstration about how to make a wonky log cabin block, Corey. Thank you!!!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

I like how you mention pieces with really wonky centers, even though they create more scrap pieces, make scraps that can be centers for the next blocks

[@maryb1111]

You always give us great tutorials. Easy to follow and learn from. Thank you for your teachings and quilty wisdom! BTW so glad to have Mr Tiggs makes his appearance! ❤️

[@CorianderQuilts]

You have a good weekend too!

[@fransak2723]

These blocks are so much fun to make. For this who may not care for scrappy quilts pick a color family or two and vary the tones. There is no right or wrong. I also find it helpful to set in my mind what size scrap is too small. I usually toss scraps that are less than 3/4”.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Great tips!

[@MarciaBaker1205]

I love your tutorials & watching your thought process. I've tried & failed at this before. I feel more confident now so thank you. I wish I could show you my sewing assistant Puff who organizes my trimmings & Goldie who helps me paper piece. Love you Corey!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I hope this tutorial leads to a successful wonky log cabin block for you!

[@elainekelley6358]

I love Chloe's scrappy quilt. I don't especially like log cabin but this is really cute. Thanks Corey-I'll have to try this.

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's such a simple one one to piece too. =)

I adore your colors. I buy LOTS AND LOTS of your fabric. It makes me happy.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@christifranks1116]

Happy to see Tiggs living his best life! Those blocks are so fun! Someday I’ll have enough scraps to do a project like this. 😊

[@CorianderQuilts]

Quilters usually manage to collect scraps with very little effort! =)

[@Sewmena918]

I made a rug mug using this technique, but I ran into a couple of issues and you covered them here. It’s easy to get things so wonky that nothing fits. I can’t wait to try this again. I am working on my first quilt right now. I would love to do one like this that is less structured and maybe a “planned” scrappy. Your daughter’s quilt is beautiful. ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

Oh good!...I'm so glad I went over the things that gave you a bit of a fuss. =) It's fun to have some quilts that are simpler to make that we can make when we need a break from those fussier to piece ones. =)

I love the quilts you have made with this fabric and how your cat helps. I have a quilting helping cat she's special as I am in the Isle of man so she is Manx and has a stumpy tail and a attitude. I would love the box as moda is my favourite and I would like to have a go with the cup cake papers

This is a wonderful tutorial - thank you so much, Corey! I can’t wait to gather my scrap bundles and start a couple of blocks. I can see this being a continuing project, sitting by the sewing machine, and adding scraps from different projects as I go. What a great way to chronicle the quilts that you have made through the year! (It was really nice to see Tiggsy show up!) ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!...they are such fun blocks to make--I hope you enjoy sewing some up! You're right...these are great ongoing blocks to use up scraps from your various projects. =)...a fun scrappy, memory quilt. =)

Love cats on cutting tables. My Peanut Butter loved it. I was amazed he never got his twitchy tail cut off! Great tutorial. It’s my favorite kind of quilting.

[@cindytracy9707]

Thank you for the tutorial. I think this block in the colors you showed would make a cute baby quilt. The bright colors are fun and babies like bright colors. The one your daughter made is more soft and would be beautiful for a girl baby or an older child. Our guild has been asked to make some quilts for all ages and I think this would be a great idea to use some of the smaller scraps we have.

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's such a great scrap busting block. The fabrics you choose sure make a difference, don't they!

[@gerryivkovich1857]

I would call this a crazy quilt. I like it. God bless.

[@CorianderQuilts]

It certainly has a crazy quilt vibe, doesn't it! I would say the main differences between crazy quilt blocks and these would be: 1. Crazy quilts often are made up of many different types of fabrics 2. Lots of embellishments are added including decorative trims and top stitching

[@quiltingbydavid6495]

I like the way you build these blocks. It's a beautiful quilt top

[@CorianderQuilts]

They're such easy blocks. =)

[@wilycat5290]

It was fun that Tiggs popped in again. =) They are fun additions to the sewing room. =)

😀 thank you for showing us the wonky log cabin

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're welcome!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Love your colourful fabrics. I made a wonky log cabin quilt in 2015. All my starting pieces were cut with 5 sides from the same fabric, all different and not always centred in the block. I made 20 blocks, each trimmed to 12.5" and sashed with a dark blue fabric. I love sewing scrappy projects 🥰

[@CorianderQuilts]

Sounds like a wonderful project!

[@leanichols6824]

This is a pretty block and the fabrics you used are so pretty!! How sweet that your cat joins you in your sewing room.

[@CorianderQuilts]

He really enjoys that cutting table...especially when I need to work there. =)

[@debrablue6115]

Love these. Thanks for the tutorial. My Rika loves to flight with me for the iron, she wants to lay right next to it or she wants the spot I just got done ironing on. Gotta love our cats! Back to sewing. Enjoy your weekend.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much!...Tiggs doesn't usually bother the iron (he really doesn't like the sound of the steam) but that day he gave it a little sniff. =) I can see how cats would like the warm ironing board! Frances, our shy kitty who is never on camera, always enjoys sitting on the registers when the furnace is running. She's always a little disappointed I think when they switch over to cold air in the summer!

[@traceyhonig4461]

Awe... what a beautiful helper!! While I am a scrappy quilter I have to be traditional... if that makes sense. I see all of the wonky stuff, "freestyle" sewing and not really sure if that would be my cup of tea, as the saying goes. I do have the "Wonky Log Cabin" trim tool ruler from Creative Grids, so I might do one from that one just to get my feet wet. Thank you for your encouragement of going outside the box. Enjoy the warmer weather & Happy Quilting!! 🧵

[@CorianderQuilts]

Traditional, scrappy quilts are so pretty and so much fun! The more loose style of quilt blocks isn't for everyone. =)

[@libertybuckeye9663]

This looks so fun Corey! I think this would make a nice kids quilt too for any age😊 Thanks for a very informative video and love seeing these videos and oh! your cute little cat❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

It is a fun one...I don't recall how old Chloe was when she made this quilt but it wasn't recently. I would guess maybe 12 or so? It's a really great beginner project.

[@annecosgrove2133]

Thanks so much for this fun tutorial! I have been using a lot of bright, fun fabrics lately, and will start putting the loose scraps in a box to use. I’m looking forward to your new line coming out to add to the mix. My cat’s absolute favorite part of quilting is trying out the new quilt as I put on the binding.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I don't do a lot of hand binding anymore but when I did, our little yorkie used to love binding days! =)

[@annroy8084]

They are fun blocks to make...I hope you enjoy them!

[@bettycopple1681]

This looks like crazy quilt block! Only you usually start with a 5 sided shape

[@CorianderQuilts]

I would say the main difference would be all of the embellishments and varying fabrics used in crazy quilts. Construction wise (with the exception of the embellishments) the blocks are pretty similar!

[@barbaragoga3695]

This was such a fun video seeing these wonky blocks come together. I plan to make some in between other sewing projects just as mindless sewing while listening to audio books. This will be lots of fun with my 2 1/2” strips, 21/2” block scraps and 11/2” strips to make an original block!😁 Thank you Corey for making this look very easy to sew, trim and press! I enjoy your channel very much.😊

The trims are not waste. They are the pieces closest to the center, or the last fills at the outside edges. They can be seamed with others that are "too small" and be used anywhere.
