Quilting tutorial

1. Quarter Square Log Cabin
Thank you for taking time
to help us make a fun quilt
for our Bingo project! I
hope you find this block
easy, quick, and fun to
make. Please let me
know if you have any
questions at
ljrieben@gmail.com and I
will get back to you as
quickly as I can. I will
collect the blocks at our
June meeting.
Happy sewing!

2. Please use all cotton fabrics. All seam allowances are ¼ inch. I am asking you
to make a block that will be bigger than I need and I will trim it to the right
size. Please leave it untrimmed.
You will need one red square 5” by 5” (like a charm square).
One strip of white fabric 2 ½ “ (subcut to 2 ½” by 5” and 2 ½ “ by 7 ”)
One strip of black (solid or a print that is mostly black) 3 ½ “ (sub cut to 3 ½ ‘
by 7 ½ “ and 3 ½ “ by 10 )
One strip of white fabric 3” (subcut to 3” by 10 ½” and 3” by 13 “)

3. Step one: Sew the red square to the white strip that is 2 ½” by 5”
Iron toward the red square. Now sew the white 2
½” by 7 “ strip to the adjoining side.
Press toward the red square.

4. Step 2:
Now add the shorter black strip to the same side as the shorter
white strip. This time iron to the black.
Then add the longer black strip to the adjacent side.

5. Step 3:
Woohoo! Almost done!
Grab the shorter of the 3” strips
and add it to the same side as
the shorter black strip. Iron to
the black.
Then add the last white strip.
You did it! See, fun and easy!
Remember not to trim it. You
can measure it to be sure it is
12 ½’ or larger. 
Make a few more? Hehe
Bring them to the June
meeting!
Love,
Laura
