YT algorithm finally sent your channel to me- finally someone who talks sense, my level. ❤

After 20 years of quilting, the Log cabin still remains my favorite. Thank you for sharing this very interesting video!

My first quilt was an Eleanor Burns Log Cabin. Then I met Mary Ellen Hopkins and found that you can piece in front of the TV watching Cheers, that nearly any quilt block triangle can be pieced from a log cabin. Size doesn't matter. Quilts don't need to be fancy & quilt show worthy that simple quilts can be made and loved and that is okay to "Sit on my quilt".

I agree. The fun is the most important thing on sewing patchwork. I've been obsessed with kaleidoscopes for two years.

Back around 1984, I made a very large Log Cabin Quilt. However, when I started it, I was living in another state. I used the layout of one I had viewed in a magazine. Later, when my mother saw my unfinished quilt (it was partly quilted) she jumped on me for not doing my quilt the only way she had ever seen it done. So I ripped the quilting out, took the seams out between the blocks, and sewed it together to please my mother. I used it as a bed spread for years; and, I never liked my quilt made the way Mom insisted that it to be made. I still have that old quilt. It needs a lot of repairs to the top (but the backing and batting are still good). I think it is time to make a new log cabin top (for my old quilt) the way I want to make it. I should hand tie it, because it is already quilted. The new top will be made of all new fabrics. Mom passed almost 12 years ago (she was 92 years old when she passed). I wish she could have seen this video. It would have been hard to get her to set down in front of a computer (she though a computer was the devil's work). If Mom could have seen the beautiful quilts you showed me today, I don't think she would not have liked her way of making a Log Cabin Quilt top. Thank you for this video. Note: I was in the U.S. Army. "There is a right way, there is a wrong way, and there is the Army's way. When you are in the Army you will do it the Army's way." I did not have any trouble adjusting to Army life; because, there was the right way, the wrong way, and there was Mom's way at home.

being creative for your own enjoyment - in my life anyway brings a real peace of mind. Glad your making a log cabin the way you want it to be. I'm just learning & I'm 65

Thank you Kaye for a delightful Log Cabin quilt show-such beauties.

You are correct...great beginner quilt. It was my 2nd "completed quilt for my 2nd child. My first "completed" was Around the World for my first (without a rotary cutter). 1988 and 1996. Now just getting back into it and I love your videos because they are truly...this is how you learned to do it in the 80's now look how far we have come, but look at how we got here. Love your approach.

I love the first idea for log cabin with the 5 inch squares.. your ideas are inspiring. Thank you

Glad you like them!

Hi Kaye, I only came across you recently so I have been binge watching your tutorials. I absolutely love them, I love your approach to the freedom of choice to suit peoples individual taste. I have purchased the book on pieced boarders that you recommended in one of your clips, ( not sure which tutorial it was) so I am having a go. I have only been quilting for about 2 years but we all have to start somewhere and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Many thanks for your all of your tutorials.

The log cabin does seem like a very versatile block. You are right about keeping it squared at the corners. Thanks 😊

It has been along time since I made a log cabin quilt and I am ready to remedy that this week. Thanks for the inspiration!

Fabulous video. Log cabin is one of my favorites! I'm really enjoying this series of videos. Thankyou.

How interesting! You could make every quilt a log cabin and every one would be different. You piqued my interest in trying a different version, especially with the heart log cabin and the flower petals log cabin, they're very creative and interesting. Thank you for the inspiration! This is just what I need to get out of my quilting rut.

Love all the videos! Would LOVE to see more technique videos (please). Keep up the great work!

Hi, Kaye What a treat it’s been to come across your videos recently. I’ve had the opportunity to take 3 multi-day workshops with you through Inspired to Sew of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The last session was when you encouraged me to get the Go Big! Accuquilt cutter. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t cut accurately anymore because of the arthritis in my hands. You and the crew were so constantly kind to cut for me. I was in tears, and you sent me over to Jill for a personal demonstration of the machine. I went home that afternoon with the Go Big! and some basic dies and it’s been worth every penny. Thanks for your influences, wisdom, whacky sense of humor and clear eyed views on so very many topics. With affectionate respect Melinda Ostergren

I’ve rescued several quilts and tops from auctions and shows and my favorite is a twin sized log cabin utility quilt that is tattered and frayed and leaking stuffing at a steady pace. The logs are .5” wide, it’s utterly soft and warm and comforting.

Incredible amount of knowledge you’re sharing! Definitely Quilting college.

Same here! My first quilt was also an Eleanor Burns Log Cabin. I was hooked. That was 35 years ago.

Stumbled upon your video while searching for various log cabin ideas, and I love your designs and ideas!! I've looked at many but yours was just so refreshing. Thank you for sharing!!

This is a wonderful video. I even went back and watched the technique video. Thank you for teaching so much about quilting.

I love log cabins. This video is inspirational. Thank you, Kaye!

Oh I was so excited to see a new video. I was hoping to see one soon and here it is. Loved this, so very inspiring. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I will definitely be getting one of your patterns and watch the log cabin technique video again. Have a great day. ❤️

Your videos are a joy! Once again, so full of information, ideas and fun. Thank you for making theses videos, I appreciate them so much!

Hello! Another awesome video! I'm just sitting and hand quilting. I hope you have a delightful week ahead! Thanks for sharing!

I love the flower quilt

Bless your heart! This was a delight to watch.

Thank you for this video. I love the log cabin quilt!

Love all your tips and options. Like talking with a good friend.

I am now excited to try my first log cabin quilt! Thanks 😊

Wonderful video.Thank you.

I love the log cabin. I can't remember but I made one years ago with a friend. Could have been my first quilt attempt. Great inspiration.

Wonderful Tutorial to excite the semi-new quilter. ❤

Wow! I am amazed by your expertise and creativity. ❤

Fell more in love with log cabin!

Great idea -- it is a fabulous block to play with

Enjoyed ur video. First time i seen it. Lots of ideas i have a 9 year old grand daughter i wud like to start. Log cabins is what i will use. ❤❤❤ have a lots festive season. From South Africa

i love your tutorials i also love the log cabin

I just found you yesterday and so glad I did. So many on here like to hear themselves talk too much and not enough 'get on with it'!! Straight forward just like Donna Jordan. Have you bookmarked now as I will soon be ready to make another one.

I made a log cabin with wider logs on 2 sides that I found in a book. (Don't remember the name) It creates a circular pattern. The book did careful color placement that created a layered, almost 3-D effect. Very modern and unusual.

I wish I could show you the design I made using the log cabin block because it's so unique I haven't seen another design like it.

you could email it to me. kaye@kayeengland,com

When I started quilting, I didn't know how to follow a pattern, so all my quilts were "pictorial." (Like a clown falling from a ladder while painting a giraffe, fun with some multi-color paint-spatter fabric I found.) I was out of work, in a wheelchair, and made quilts to sell for added income. Then my mother bought me a book of log cabin designs and said "Make me one like this...." So my first "pattern" quilt was a log cabin. LOL

Would love to take some classes from you!

These are beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration. I have been searching for your Star Flower (curved log cabin) project sheet and could not find it. So as I was trying to figure out how it is made, it seems that number of rows in the dark side are different from the light side. Is this possible? I appreciate your help and if you can point me to your project sheet, it also would be appreciated.

Hello Kaye!! I super excited to find your channel! May I ask if the book you put a link for, has the patterns you displayed

If you are referring to the African book then yes the patterns for the two quilts shown are in this book

Is there a pattern for the chevron tablerunner you are showing?

Hi there How do we get a project sheet..
