The listing, Log Cabin Pattern - Quilt in a Day by Eleanor Burns has ended.

paperback - 88 pages.

The Log Cabin design dates back to pioneer days and is one of the most popular quilting patterns. Most Colonial homes had one or more of these quilts.

The center square, traditionally red, represents the heart or hearth of the home. The strips around the center square are said to represent the logs of the cabin.

Completed tops were hand qilted by neighbors welcoming a new family while all the men raised the barn.

By turning the log cabin blocks in different directions, many looks can be created.

Even though these Log Cabin Quilts are stitched together quickly by machine with purchased fabrics, they are just as warm and unique as any the pioneers painstakenly made with carefully saved scraps.
