Squiggles, Dots and Lines Blog Hop

Deb Tucker is introducing her newest fabric collection from Island Batik – Squiggles and Dots. I decided to make a small quilt using Deb Tucker’s “Curved Log Cabin Technique Sheet“.

A Curved Log Cabin Block is really an optical illusion. The block is made up of one center square with a series of narrow and wide logs sewn around the center square. It sounds easy, but if you’ve ever tried to make them, you know that it is tough to get them to come out the way you want them – nice and square. Studio 180 Design’s technique has you strip piece each round of logs, then trim with the Tucker Trimmer® III, which allows you to straighten up those edges before you sew the next round. You will make every block quickly, easily, and accurately.

I had 6 – 1/2 yard pieces of Squiggles, Dots and Lines, plus background fanric. I chose to make 36 – 5.5″ finished blocks with 3 rounds of logs.

What is so interesting about the log cabin block is you have many design options.

I fell in love with this version of a Curved Log Cabin quilt. It measures 40″ by 40″. Below are other options I came with.
