Wonky Log Cabin Quilt Block on Muslin Foundation

[@vickihoffman3360]

I am so crazy in love with your quilting style! Today is the first day I found your videos and I can’t get anything else done. Thank you. Thank you.

[@agilejack1]

Glad you found me! Be sure to check out my blog at www.agilejack1.com. A lot of quilting stuff there including a brand new tutorial.

[@gwenwolff6607]

Just crazy about your wonky block with Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics! Thanks for this helpful video.

[@gwendolynbeatty2058]

Your video showed up. I really enjoyed.

[@GCSOD]

I found this when searching for something else -- ahh, the endless rabbit hole of KZbin! BEAUTIFUL block, and I'm already thinking 1. I have way more KF fabrics than I'd need for a whole quilt of these beauties, and 2. some of KF black-and-white fabric for sashing would be perfect. Thank you!!

[@agilejack1]

If you're making a quilt, there's no need to use the muslin base. I have a tutorial using batiks and no muslin. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6nGoq2igdiAhLs

What is KF fabrics- loved the tutorial

[@mlima19]

Sorry I just found out KF stands for Kasse Fasset; I looked him up. Just learned something

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Very nice video - you should do more. This is my 2nd visit - don't know why I didn't leave a comment before.

[@doreensherk287]

This is a good explanation of a wonky log cabin block. I also have an arc ruler and have never used it to cut fabrics. I will now use it for a 8” square, thanks for that tip. ❤

[@agilejack1]

I bought mine specifically because it's 8 inches! Never intended to use it for arcs!

[@artisanstitch]

Gorgeous colours. I’m hooked on wonky log cabin now

[@agilejack1]

I need to make another wonky log cabin quilt. it's been a long time.

[@wifeofchief]

This is so neat! I wanted to make a quick quilt with tropical colors and you have given it to me (I know, others will use it too! lol!😄) Thank-you!

[@BAM-jc7uy]

I use Pellon sf 101(sale priced, instead of the now $$ muslim) by cutting the pellon by square, triangular or other shape then stitching crumb fabric or orphan blocks to the adhesive side...I do not press until the pellon shape is overcovered with fabric...then I press and square up. The pellon takes the place of light batting for a summer quilt....and also hides the many seams of the crazy patch ....the pellon is flexible and lighweight to stitch the blocks together and then I add the backing fabric and binding.

[@jodysoberon4477]

I love this!

[@1955dmb]

That is a great idea. You can get SF101 at Joanns at 50% off quite regularly.

[@lesa6399]

This just popped up! I love it & your fabrics are mmmmwah! Thanks for sharing!

[@cathyphegley7848]

“No rules….do what you want!” You wild thing you! Love this tutorial! Now that all my Christmas projects are over it’s time to collect all those scraps and meld them together. I want to make some pillow shams for my friend for her office/prayer couch.💕Cathy in Montana

[@agilejack1]

I love that no rules approach! I hope you have fun!

[@doreensherk287]

Brilliant idea using that ruler, I have one and never use it, now I will. Thanks 😊

[@ellenhofer3343]

I think I might try this as a quilt as you go progect. I love this technique.

[@Dillwinkle]

Drinking game (apple juice) every time she says, “wonky” take a drink… GO! 😂😂

[@vickiserre9457]

Your fabrics are Amazing with this block!!

[@agilejack1]

Yeah... I've been thinking I need to make another quilt out of these. I did make one in all turquoise. It was pretty cool!

[@smallfootprint2961]

This was fun. Just found you. Yay!

[@Westernwilson]

Ann, I love these blocks, but why use the foundation fabric?

[@agilejack1]

I used the foundation fabric on this one because I was going to sew this into a drawstring bag and I wanted a little more structure. I did another video making these blocks without the muslin foundation. both ways work well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6nGoq2igdiAhLs

[@PhillipPresswood]

Hell yes! Quick, artistic, I love it!

[@agilejack1]

Thanks. It's a pretty good method!

[@Brenda-um7hg]

This is fantastic.. You may this look do-able.. Sew fantastic that you talk us through the process..

[@agilejack1]

Wow! thanks! I hope it works for you!

[@pamelamerritt4403]

Beautiful

[@emmacarpenter4055]

Wow!!! Love this. Thanks for sharing.

Ironing the back before trimming makes for a smooth block..nice tute..🇨🇦

Excellent instructions

[@mariahamel2545]

Beautiful 🤩

[@jodysoberon4477]

Hi Aj, Hello from Brookings!! I LOVE this block and your tutorial for this and for the bag; it gave me an idea about using a wonky block to be a part of a wine bag!! :D Now if I just had more KF fabric!! I did just join a club that I think I found the link for on or near one of your blog pages and just got my first delivery of 5 1/2 yards! Oh, I ordered 5 yards of KF's Orchids for the back of a quilt with KF fabric, but I love it SO much, I'm going to do a One Block Wonder with it. :D Signed - another profanity using KF loving quilter! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@agilejack1]

Uh oh! You're in trouble now! Once you start buying KF fabric, you can't stop! you can use these wonky blocks in anything! I've even made an entire quilt from them.

[@tonyastokley5165]

This is awesome ! I wished you taught classes lol

[@agilejack1]

Ha! thanks! I've never thought of myself as a teacher but some people have said I do a pretty good job of it! it's all luck!

[@gjones9409]

She is and were watching right now 😂

[@patfrontuto5342]

I am working on a 6.5 strip block. Yours is pretty neat.

[@agilejack1]

thanks! This method works really well for me.

[@channahgenuth648]

Thant you for that usefull clear tutorial. I would like to know to which projects do you choose to use muslin to make those beautiful squares and on which you don’t.

[@agilejack1]

If I was making these blocks for a quilt, I would NOT use the muslin backing. If I was making this block to build into a bag, I would use the muslin. It's all a personal choice. You don't have to use the muslin at all. I just like a little more structure and strength if something will be part of a bag.

[@channahgenuth648]

очень красиво получилось,необычно...появилось место для фантазии...спасибо вам!

[@janhulse9518]

could you not also offset centre piece for the wonky effect?

[@agilejack1]

You can do whatever you want!!! No rules here!!!

[@anamariachamisosilvadebias7842]

Boa noite. Sou do Brasil. Amo esta técnica.

[@avigayilelsner7335]

Hi, I loved this tutorial! And also the fabrics. Could you please let me know where to get these prints? Thank you.

[@avigayilelsner7335]

Thank you.

[@alison5072]

Why use a muslin carrier for the strips? Is it just for stability?

[@agilejack1]

You can certainly make this block with or without the muslin. But I was making this for my drawstring knitting project bag and this block serves as one side of the zipper pocket, so the muslin adds stability for that function. I made a quilt with blocks like this out of batiks and I didn't use the muslin backing. No need to if you're making these blocks for a quilt. It would just add unnecessary bulk and not much function.

[@alison5072]

@@agilejack1 Thanks for that, I missed the usage of the block.

[@valentinazirini7252]

Is that Kaffe Fassett fabric?

[@agilejack1]

Yes. All of it.

[@beverlymartin1414]

New sub here! Hello! Where did you get so many "CF" fabric scrapes?

[@agilejack1]

I make a lot of things with the Kaffe Fassett fabrics so I generate a lot of scraps.

[@doristapley2225]

Why if all the is covered, why cut it down to 8 inches

[@agilejack1]

I cut it down so it's all square. I don't enjoy precise sewing so it's more fun for me to make it a little bigger then square it up more precisely.

[@audreyderby5926]

I do much the same but sew unto batting instead of cotton. Then add the backing and quilt...

[@jclagana7985]

J'adore merci pour le tuto j'ai très envie d'e faire un

[@agilejack1]

You're welcome!

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

I like the technic, i like your block. But why did you sew 9" and cut it down. Why didn´t you sew 8" from the beginn? May be to make it wonky? It was already wonky:

[@agilejack1]

I get a more precise 8 inch block if I trim it down. Plus, I don't have to sew precisely if I'm going to square it up. I don't enjoy all that precision piecing. So I like making it wonky and then trimming it square. Just more fun for me.

[@annierodenberg2327]

🤗

[@stormyg1945]

I love the way you put this together! However, I wish your camera did not shake every time you cut. Otherwise, great job!

[@agilejack1]

Yeah. I wish that too.

[@janhulse9518]

when you add the next piece on top and there is excess below because it is at an angle,do you cut off the excess underneath? if so,should you sew the pieces end to end?

[@agilejack1]

I trim off as much as I can because it can get bulky.

[@ireneschuyler1867]

Can’t see anything put the wall

[@monsooniphone]

What is the foundation called that you use please?

[@susanpeterson8433]

Muslin

[@heddybell]

Although I managed this I had to keep pausing to check what colour of material you had used next so as I knew where to go next. I know you said ‘clockwise’ but I kept getting lost even though I know what clockwise means! 😊 You move them around too quickly for me and I lose track! is there another tip I could follow perhaps? Thanks.

[@stormyg1945]

What is plink?

[@agilejack1]

Plink is the name of a fabric design.

[@juliescouten3906]

Get your tables steady please. It’s hard to watch when it vibrates so much.
