Log Cabin Block

The Log Cabin Block
Log cabin quilts have a rich tradition in America going back to the mid-1800’s. “A red center symbolized the hearth of home and a yellow center represented a welcoming light in the window… a Log Cabin quilt with a black center hanging on a clothesline was meant to signal a stop for the Underground Railroad.”
Cabin quilts were made using fabric scraps that were popular during that time including silk, velvet, wool, and satin
