My 12 blocks for the past week...I am just loving these little blocks, they will finish at 4"!
here are all the blocks so far. I am just putting the blocks up the wall, they are not laid out the way they will be my quilt. Its fun to move them around right now. I am using the fabrics from the scrap bags I talked about in
this post here....still amazed at how much is in each one. This quilt is going to probably made from the scrap bags I bought and the strips I have already cut over the past few years of 1.5" strips! I am sewing and trimming, not paper pieced.
Here is the scrap bag I am cutting from today, I hope to make another 12 blocks today.
Hope your finding time in the sewing room today as well...

Kathie, those are tiny but so adorable. Paper pieced?
Scrappy log cabins and small! Nothing better!
OMG! This is so great! I love it! And I was just looking at a couple pics of tiny-block Courthouse Steps quilts yesterday......Hmmmmm! Now which one to do!?! Maybe both! lol
OOOOOOH! LOVE this! I missed your first post about the grab bags so thanks for sharing that. Dare I?
a wonderful beginning!
!!!!!
I must get a log cabin on my to-do list!! I love yours!!
Log cabins are such a classic, and they are just plain fun to make.
I love it! The tiny blocks are so wonderful. Looks like fun.
Really? 4 inches? Does this mean I need to start saving 1 inch scraps? Oh my. Kathie L in Allentown
What a great use of scraps!
Just beautiful! Log cabin is one of my all-time favorite blocks.
Love those lil' blocks--4"? Wow--you must be using narrow strips....really pretty...Julierose
Love all the blocks, Kathie! It's going to be a fabulous quilt.
How lovely!!!! Keep up the good work!
Aren't you glad I told you about those scrap bags? I don't think Homestead Hearth expected such a big response when they told you they had plenty. LOL. I ordered a few more and they are delayed due to the high volume of orders. But they're worth the wait.
I love your small log cabin blocks. The last scrap LC quilt I made had 1" wide finished strips. Your blocks make those look big.
I have serious quilt envy!! I've always wanted to make a log cabin, even long before I started patchwork. I think yours has a bit of an optical illusion, it seems like there are more pieces per block than there actually are. Love it.
I love log cabin quilts. Yours are so cute and tiny. I made a log cabin top in august last year, still to bee quilted.
Amazing! I have to look into these scrap bags!
The blocks look great. I need to work on mine again. I started these a few years back and still do not have enough for a large quilt, which is what I want to make. I have tons of strips, it is time to get started again.
Wonderful,Kathie! I have never made a log cabin quilt, but have to make one someday...so many possibilities with this block ...
Just love your little blocks! It seems to have been the weekend for making Logcabin blocks! I made 16 x 4" blocks too, all from scraps! I see that you are continuing making more, for a bedsize quilt?, good for you, they are so addictive and I just love how they all go together so well, the more variety in them the better they look!!!!!
So beautiful! Love the blocks and the beautiful patterns being created! Awesome!
How productive you have been! the blocks are beautiful - lovely warm mix of colours. Thanks for posting:)

I love log-cabin with red center too. The first time I saw it was an antique quilt at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I wanted to make one ever since - Yours is gorgeous...
wee so tiny
hoooray for log cabin blocks!
There is just something about this block! I need to make a tiny one soon.
Log cabin blocks all over the web, but the smaller, delicate ones like yours are my favorites.
Thanks for the hint about the scrap bags--as if I need any more scraps. I have 2 or 3 headed my way. Looking forward to seeing what's inside. It'll be like opening presents :)
Love your blocks. I ordered a couple of the scrap bags but am still waiting for them. I already found the perfect project for them. Hugs
Kathie, I'm absolutely loving these blocks!! They are perfect!!! I hoping to get to mine later this year!! You keep me inpsired!! And your little pink quilts from the previous post are just adorable!!
Be Joyful!
I have been collecting 1" strips of civil wars for about 1 1/2 yrs. now. I have considered starting my log cabin but know I should wait a bit longer. Seeing your cute little blocks is making me kind of antsy to get started..thanks so much for sharing!
They're wonderful!
Cute, cute, cute. That word is coming up when I see these little log cabins...
I am incorporating the scraps I got in my bag into a couple of mini quilts in the works. Such fun.
Love these teeny log cabin blocks. Wow--how large do you think you will make this quilt?
Beautiful! Their small size makes them that much more precious.
Love, love, love tiny log cabins. Yours are wonderful, and o so tiny!
After your last post @ the scrap bags, i ordered one. Haven't posted on the blog @ it yet. I used several pieces in my 18x48" applique wall hanging. I love most all the fabric I received. I weighed the scraps & also weighed a one yard piece of similar quality quilting fabric. As you & others have said, there are some relatively large pieces of some of them, even 3"WOF cuts. I estimate i got @ 2.8 yards of scraps. Most selvages were on the short end, so i'll get at least 2.5 of usable fabric for $15 (including postage.) It is fun having so many new fabrics. Thanks for the heads up!
4 inches??!! So tiny, but oh, so cute! Enjoy.
they are perfect.
And, I like that first picture of the 12 blocks--would be a great doll quilt. Love the asymmetry of the 12 together.
Great little blocks Kathie. I am working with larger blocks for a change but having just as much fun.
