    The key takeaways are that this quilt project uses a simple log cabin block design that is enlarged to make a baby quilt. It combines solid fabrics in contrasting and similarly valued colors to create a modern yet functional look.

    The materials needed are fat eighths and fat quarters of cotton solids, half a yard of one cotton solid, binding fabric, backing fabric, batting, sewing thread and needles.

    The quilt top is constructed by sewing fabric strips around a central square in concentric rectangles, with differently sized strips added and strips pieced together as needed to create the required lengths.

    Finished size: ~38” x 38”

    The concept behind this design couldn’t be simpler; a single log


    cabin block super-sized to create a top big enough for a baby
    quilt. Combine this simple idea with a variety of contrasting and
    similarly valued solids and you have a quilt that is direct, fresh,
    and very modern, but also feels entirely functional.
    Materials:

    Fabric:
    Fat eighths of 4 different cotton solids
    Fat quarters of 8 different cotton solids
    1/2 yard of 1 cotton solid
    1/4 yard of cotton solid for binding
    1 1/4 yard of coordinating cotton fabric for backing

    Other Supplies:
    Rotary cutter
    Self-healing mat
    Coordinating machine sewing thread
    Quilter’s clear, acrylic ruler
    Scissors
    Pins
    Iron
    Quilt basting materials
    Cotton batting measuring at least 45” x 45”
    Coordinating machine or hand quilting thread
    Hand sewing needle

    Cutting the Quilt Top Fabric:


    Note: Fabric measurements are listed for strips appearing from
    the center out. Some strips may need to be pieced to make
    length requirements. For instance my outermost strips were sewn
    out of same width strips to make lengths needed.
    Cut the following:
    Center Square: 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 1” x 2 1/2”
    4 strips measuring 1 1/2" x 4 1/4”
    4 strips measuring 1” x 5 1/4"
    4 strips measuring 1” x 6 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 10 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 1 1/2" x 12 1/4"
    4 strips measuring 1 1/4" x 13 1/4"
    4 strips measuring 1 1/8” x 15”
    4 strips measuring 1 1/4" x 16 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 20 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 1” x 21 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 2 3/4" x 25 3/4"
    4 strips measuring 1” x 26 1/4"
    4 strips measuring 1 1/2” x 28 1/4"
    4 strips measuring 2 1/4" x 31 1/2"
    4 strips measuring 4 1/4" x 38 1/2”

    Cutting the Remaining Fabric:


    From cotton solid for binding, cut 1 1/2" strips
    Making the Patchwork:

    Note: All seam allowances are 1/4". Press seams to one side,
    alternating sides where seams intersect.
    1. Working with center square and 1, 1” x 2 1/2" strip, pin
    strips to one side of center square, right sides together.

    Note: Strip edge is longer than center square edge. After


    sewing, strip will be trimmed to same length as center
    square.
    2. Sew together. Press seam. Trim as necessary.

    3. Pin second strip to sewn pair, right sides together, so that


    is perpendicular to sewn pair.
    4. Sew together. Press seam. Trim as necessary.

    5. Continue pinning, sewing, and pressing strips until all four


    strips have been sewn to center square.
    6. Working with next set of strips (1 1/2" x 4 1/4"), pin one
    strip to sewn section, right sides together.
    7. Sew together. Press seam trim as necessary.
    8. Continue pinning, sewing, and pressing strips around sewn
    section until all four 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" strips are attached.
    9. Continue concentrically attaching differently sized strips,
    sewing together strips if necessary to create required
    length.

    Finishing the Quilt:

    1. Layer backing fabric, wrong side facing up, batting, and


    Quilt top, right side facing up on flat surface.
    2. Baste layers together using preferred method.
    3. Hand or machine quilt as desired.
    Note: I free motion machine quilted the sample starting
    from the center and stitching in concentric swirls to the
    outer edges.
    4. Trim layers flush
    5. Sew binding strips together using diagonal seams.
    6. Attach binding to front of quilt.
    7. Hand stitch binding to back side remembering to turn under
    1/4' seam allowance as you stitch.
