Log Cabin To Go Bag
My first attempt at a log cabin quilt was many years ago. It was hand pieced, tied and bagged by machine. I still have it but wanted to try some of the new quilting techniques I have learned since undertaking this new hobby before making a new log cabin quilt ( on my to-do list).
From my leftover fabrics, I pulled out pieces of red, blue, white -- mostly primary prints to stitch together the log cabin bag. I used • 2-5" squares red print (blocks)
• 18-5" squares total assorted cream/yellow prints and light blue prints (blocks)
• 18-5" squares total assorted blue prints and black prints (blocks)
• 2 store bought red/white stripe heavy duty twine for bag handles -- about 14"
• 3⁄8 yard lining print
• 3⁄8 yard 1/4" batting
My individual finished blocks turned out to be about 3 1/2" square. I used 42" fabric width and precut 5" squares.
I used a basic bag pattern and adjusted the blocks to fit the size that I needed. Then quilted it by stitching in the ditch.
