I have watched this video several times over the years. It is a favorite! It makes me happy. Love your fabrics and your personality.

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Wow, thank you!

[@margaretWestminster]

Excellent quilting teacher you are. And no music in background, love it. Thank you .

[@katherinecorr4772]

I reallyl like this tutorial better than any other on the Log Cabin Block. She did the very best at explaining and showing me how to do this. I feel so much more confident and Cathy C,

[@enjoyart5]

Thank you very much. You are a good teacher .

[@sandramillar9067]

Just as I’ve been ‘planning’ a log cabin, here you are, super helpful! Love how you walk us through each step and share with us that make a huge difference. Thank you! And great meeting you! 😊

[@TheSoosybear]

I HAVE ALWAY'S STRUGGLED WITH LOG CABIN BLOCK AND HAVE NEVER GRASPED THE METHOD. THANKS FOR YOU CLEAR CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS I WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.

[@michelethomas6689]

I have watched several videos on log cabin quilting and this one is by FAR the clearest! Thank you!!!

[@HWolfe]

More sewing machine manufacturers are adding 1/4" quilting foot to their machines at purchase. I got one with my new Brother and your video is the best I have found so far on log cabin blocks. Thank you so, so much!

[@susanbusby46]

Fantastic tutorial. Diction so clear. Thank you very much

[@maureenbarstow1271]

Excellent tutorial. I love some of your tips, like not backstitching and cutting the pieces after they have been sewn on. That saves a lot of time pre-cutting.

[@lcmaiato]

love how you explain everything so clearly

[@harrietlinnthomas6497]

Great step by step tutorial and I didn’t get lost.

[@marilynmulkey6095]

Best teacher ever.

[@shirleysharper8942]

Lovely ,I love the way you do this ,I’m going to try my first one ,thanks so much

[@leene219]

I am just learning how to quilt/sew and I like to say Thank you! you make it so easy to follow!!! I'm so glad to find your You Tube...

[@raggedyann4372]

Thank you, greatest description of this quilt! Your a doll with beautiful nails too🤗

[@organicinohio5398]

I loved this tutorial!

[@trishawalsh9102]

This is definitely one of the best tutorials on quilt making I’ve come across so far. Will definitely be using this technique 🤗

[@carolewurtz9000]

Love your technique of not having to pre measure and cut every piece. I do like it when one half of the block is light and the other dark. Just a personal preference. Well done!

[@badibadi4827]

absolutely gorgeous. Love the technique because its free style, no need to cut all pieces in exact sizes. I hate everything traditional so this is perfect for me. Thank you!

[@beverlybenson9981]

Thank you for your instructions.

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

You are welcome!

[@lindabowman204]

I really do appreciate your teaching. I love what you have saying and showing us..I have done several quilts like these. I love all the different colors and use all of them. Also, when I have scraps, I like to make pillows.......either for a gift of some size.....or there are many animals out there that would to have a wonderful pillow......I never throw out any scraps. I always use them. Thanks again.

[@karenleff212]

I loved your video and sooo appreciate the fact that you are showing us how to do this log cabin w/o having to buy every single size log cabin ruler. I get frustrated learning a technique only to find that I need to buy more rulers and more tools! Thx for simplifying for my simple mind.

[@gwenmckinley92]

thanks for making this block understandable. It's not rocket science, but you made it rock for me.

[@kristiedentice7030]

Love your little tip on pinning the seams. Thanks

[@brendadon9394]

Okay I have to say you made me laugh when you kept referring to your fabric as this guy, he or him. “Give him a chop” 😹 very easy to follow tutorial. Thank you 💕

[@xg__garbled]

great video. love instructor. i enjoyed how the entire video was in real time. full of pertinent information. no fluff. thanks!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I think you’re adorable! Thank you for this idea! I have tons of fabric in my stash!

[@BeYou4You]

Thank you! I never had the confidence to construct a Log Cabin until NOW. Thanks for making this process seem "doable"

[@joanbarker6581]

Loved your easy way to make a log cabin!! Thank you ! I’m going to start making a block the way you just did.

[@leene219]

very well taught.... I am new to quilting...your video was so easy to follow..Thank You So Much!!!!!!!

[@diannegilby2139]

I LOVE THIS!!! I've seen so many other tutorials that leave my head spinning. This is amazing!

[@brendaaymond7670]

I've been looking for an easy pattern to use for my first full size quilt. This looks like the best choice for me. I have fabric from past projects dating back to the 80's when I sewed my boys play clothes. I also have scraps from other projects that will work for this pattern. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@tatianaterriesmith8471]

Thanks for sharing great instructions ❤❤

[@cindynordlie2109]

This is the first time I’ve watched your videos and love the way you show everything as you are doing it. A lot of people don’t take the time for all that. Thank you! I make the log cabin block using 3 inch middle and 2 1/2” strips, they come out great also. And I’ve made half of block assorted whites and the other side in prints. I love that look too because you can turn blocks around and get different looks. Please do a bear claw block for me so I can see what it looks like and how it’s made. Also like the courthouse steps blocks.

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Thanks so much! I will forward your request along to our experts. Please continue watching for new content. Thanks!

[@stephaniemiller8229]

What a wonderful teacher you are! I’m brand new to quilting, but your instructions make me believe I CAN do it! Thanks very much.😊❤️

[@darlenenelson215]

Fantastic video! I finally understand the log cabin quilt. You did a great job of teaching!

[@joybarber6974]

This is an excellent video. It is so clear and easy to follow! I can't wait to try it!

[@jodyocountrydesignsdecorca3976]

Well done! So easy to follow 😘👍🏻

[@dorimoore2813]

Love that every piece does not have to be pre-measured.

[@HucklebridgeC]

First time viewer, already subscribed! Love your clear instructions. Thanks, the log cabin is my all time favorite .

[@dorad.711]

It's such a brilliant idea to leave the edges of each strip a little longer!

[@bshannon1]

I love the detail sometime other teachers skip over details and I learn from seeing details, Thank You 😊

[@jmgpknight5637]

Thank you for your tips. I like your ways of pressing, lining-up, and your attention to precision in each step.

[@PossumLady8262]

Wonderful tutorial. You were very detailed and that helped me immeasurably!

[@clarazolud4835]

Love listening how you explain, thank you so much!

[@sharonanderson6962]

Totally love the way this tutorial is filmed. Love the overview, it makes things doubly easy to understand. I'm going to try this block ASAP. Thank you so much

[@marthadeloach8748]

Love this video. Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@eileenfb1948]

This is a brilliant video. Your method is the best I've seen - you have convinced me that I need to make some of these blocks. Thank you, thank you!

[@vessareyes5582]

My name is vessa i enjoy your videos it give me a ideas, a log cabin square block for my next quilts and enturn the quilting show thank you ..

[@live2skide1]

Such a great tip; pinning that seam so it doesn't flip on you! :)

[@carolbittner4168]

Love to watch you; so relaxed and your work area is perfect for your project. It really saves time when you don't have to get 'up to press', then 'up to cut', then back to the machine. I'm taking this whole month to thin my stash and this looks like a good place to start.

[@moniquesavoie5440]

I’m new to quilting and even by following your instructions, which are perfect by the way, my final square was all wonky and didn’t end up with a 12x12, but rather 11 1/4 x 11 1/4. My first square was about 6x6. And I’m using a 1/4 in. Foot, so no idea what i did wrong. I don’t want to give up though, I’ll try and make my second square better than the first

[@jorom13]

love it. can't wait to try this. you make it seem so easy!!!!

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Thank you. For writing in i have a lot of children’s material i like this pattern maybe i start one today thanks

[@aides2hear]

I’ve been sewing since I was 9 never thought I’ll find another young one starter. I would make my own Barbie doll clothes and furniture because I’m from a family of 12 children there was not a lot of money.

[@doroleipaschal392]

Beautiful and you r a great moderator..

[@nadeeshak6899]

Very easy n good idea mam..tnq very much...

[@gerryday6111]

A really helpful video with lots of useful tips. Thanks very much.

[@Knappa22]

Pfaff machines sound so quiet and well built lol. My singer rattles a lot :D

[@asdonamur4475]

love it. so easy and looks beautiful. thank you !

[@alexandercanfield9111]

Love Love Love it!!!

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

That Pfaff sure sounds sweeeeet.

[@saqsay1]

I love your fingernails as well as your tutorial.

[@annieoannie]

Another great idea is to save the tiny cuts to stuff a pillow with. Then you really haven't put any waste in the land fill

[@kysunflower]

I love how easy this is, and and I don't have arrangements, I might be able to tackle this log cabin, thanks for teaching.

[@joycekumar4782]

Wow!!! Thanks for clear instructions and tips, I will start today itself.....

[@debimason5031]

Easy to follow, thank you☺️

[@sandygrogg1203]

Alive this method.... Thanks.

[@sueiyusuf6865]

thank you so much. . This is great

[@Rajordan]

Just a note. Notice that when you add the 4th log and all the rest, you always add a new log on the side with the two seams.

[@yourgodmotherog]

Inspirational

[@laurabarba3515]

well done 😁. thanks for sharing! 😁

[@TLRB86]

Man do I wish I had the means to get a bunch of fabric!

[@joelynvillarreal4062]

Great video! Question - you showed how to check previous seams when trimming to make sure they are parallel (not wonky because of "stack and whack") but you don't show how to fix it if it's off. Suggestions?

[@rakeebahamaneer5631]

very clever nothing to loose use all the bits goody

[@dorenejohnson6513]

Great instruction. How do we find more videos by you?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Hello Dorene, you can search for "Aurora Sisneros" to find more videos! kzbin.info?search_query=aurora+sisneros

[@oldrvr]

Can my strips be 2 1/2 right out of the jelly roll pack? Love your demo.

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Great question! The ‘Ask an Expert’ section is currently for members of our online community. I would be happy to send your question off to the experts. To get started, please send the email associated with your paid membership account. Thanks!

[@magnetsistersMom]

Can I make this with left over 2 1/2 strips? Would I need to change the 3 1/2 center piece? This looks like great fun. Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial!

[@simonecarvallhoartes2614]

Top👍👍

[@susieinthecountry4434]

good tip for beginners, measure from the ruler, not the mat!

[@sharonmelendy2237]

Love this technique. Can this be done with strip pieced, making multiple blocks as you go?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Hello Sharon, Yes, any time you can stitch off the edge of your work you can strip piece.Cheers, AshleyNational Quilters Circle Video Membership

[@annparkes4880]

Your sewing machine is quiet, do you recommend it for a beginner?

[@marykayharman6577]

Love the idea. How wide are the strips you are using? I know the center is three and a half inches square.

[@lindadaley7469]

Mary Kay Harman I think she said that she was using 2" strips at the very first of the video.

[@staceyburdge4381]

+Mary Kay Harman 2.5in strips to make 2in finished strips.

[@monica_diaz_tourist_guide]

She uses 2" strips that finish 1 1/2", that's how she can get a final 12" block (3" of the finished central square + 3 strips either side that finish 1 1/2" each strip).

[@mariagoumas6135]

I LOVE THIS AND EASY WAY TO DO IT TOO THANK UUUUUUUU IM DEAF N NO CAPTIONS BUT I CAN SEE U HOW U DO IT LOL I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ENGLISH SUBTITLES FOR HEAR WHAT U SAYING HAVE A GREAT DAY MARIA

[@alicesteele3359]

Great job your block is so pretty. Great teacher.

[@Bernietheoc]

👏😊

[@bzystpn]

Nicely taught. Can a log cabin block be achieved with strips of varying widths in the same block if they are cut straight?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Hi,Yes, you could absolutely use this technique and attach strips in varying widths, however it would just no longer be a traditional log cabin quilt block. Cheers, Ashley

[@marylynch282]

Curvy log cabin might be what you want. Still square but looks curvy

[@bonnieraekonjevich2776]

My stack and whack pile is often unsquared which you pay for later. THANKS!

[@JudithSlomowitzPolley]

Hi there I would like to know if you prewash your fabrics

[@olgafernandez5559]

Good

[@annpearce1934]

Do all log cabin blocks get sewed on the same side and continue to the right?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Great question! The ‘Ask an Expert’ section is currently for members of our online community. I would be happy to send your question off to the experts. To get started, please send the email associated with your paid membership account. Thanks!

[@paulinelorbeck6565]

What size center would be used if you had 1 1/2 in strips ?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

HI, the fun part of this scrappy technique is that you don't have to have an exact measurement for your center or your strips. Simply start with the center size of your choice and then add your strips around it.

[@trudycash94]

I am also looking for a coloring book type cabin quilt square.
