Upon returning home from Virginia this week, I had an e-mail from Fons and Porter asking if I would be interested in reviewing their new Log Cabin Quilts E-book. I certainly was happy to do that and they promptly sent me the E- book.
I have always loved log cabin quilts. They are so many varieties and options to make them very traditional or very contemporary. They are great as stand alone pieced quilts and they also make great backgrounds for applique. The first large quilt I did was a log cabin quilt. I have done them the traditional way; I have done them with paper pieced centers; and I have done them with applique.
I read through the E-book and found it to be a wonderful resource. Not only does it have complete, easy to follow instructions for a variety of log cabin settings; it also has charts with cutting instructions for 5 different size blocks.
Also included are bonus instructions for adding piping and a binding tutorial. All through the booklet there are lots of photos, hints, and easy to read charts.
But the best part for me is that it is in PDF format...which means you can transfer the booklet to iBooks on your iPad or iPhone . That means when you're in the quilt shop and find the perfect fabrics for a log cabin quilt, you'll have all the info you need right with you!
And the great folks at Fons and Porter are making it possible for you to have your own free copy too! Just follow the link below and get your own.
