The team at Fons and Porter has outdone themselves once again. Build Your Best Log Cabin is available as a FREE e book and I'm one of the lucky people who get to review it!
Build Your Best Log Cabin starts you off with a bang, showcasing three types of Log Cabin patterns, Traditional, Courthouse Steps, and Chevron. There is a bit of interesting history surrounding the blocks, making for a fun read, along with steps that are well written and easy to understand. Several types of settings are given with easy to use charts for different strip size usage.
A nice variety of ideas for different colors are also shown. The e book shows some "out of the box" thinking for setting the blocks with other blocks to create a stunning quilt. There is even a quilting design added -providing an option to the "quilt as desired" ending that leaves so many of us hanging!
A quick lesson in trapunto for the adventurous and a pattern for a woven log cabin that will certainly appeal to the detail oriented are included. Tips and tricks to staying organized so you don't have strips flying everywhere is an added bonus.
One of my favorites is the surprising variation that was created using color placement on a Courthouse Steps block that created a completely different look. Oh, and let's not forget the Chevron pattern! I hadn't realized this was a log cabin variation, and was pleased with the stunning layout presented for this block.
The e book doesn't leave you hanging in the wind on binding your quilt. A comprehensive guide to attaching binding allows you to finish off your quilt in style.
