My first ever quilt was a log cabin one. I have loved log cabin blocks forever and made more than a dozen quilts with them. Log Cabin quilts as home decor add an easy handmade style to any room.
I have just received a copy of Annie’s Publishing new book Log Cabin Variations and what was my surprise when I saw my quilt Natural Elegance featured on its cover! I am doing the happy dance! Log Cabin Variations presents 9 log cabin patterns where this traditional block is used in beautiful settings.

I usually like to use one of my log cabin quilts as home decor when I want to bring warmth to a room, or to emphasize the traditional aspects of my hobby, even though the project may have a more modern look such as this one.
