BEHIND THE QUILT

GET ORGANISED!

“We loved designing Log Cabin Love – mixing Log Cabin blocks with hearts is a great combo! The quilt is not difficult to make and suitable for confident beginners, but we do encourage you to be organised and keep the ‘logs’ and units in labelled piles. Keep referring to the diagrams for the block and sashing placements.

“A great tip is to take a photo of your completed quilt blocks when laid out in readiness for sewing. This can be referred to when sewing the blocks and checking everything is in the correct position.” – Pam & Nicky Lintott
