Log Cabin Block Piecing Instructions

This block is pieced by adding strips around the center squares. After the second seam, you will establish a pattern – two of one color strips, then two of the other. That should help you stay on track as you piece around the block!

And here’s what it looks like when you finish piecing this mini Log Cabin quilt block!

    Leah, praying u & your family are well. I would like to bind all the quilt squares using the backing to fold over to the front with a mitered corners. All I can remember is cut the backing 2″ larger all around, then mark it 1″ , then fold over edge to the 1″ mark, … this is where I am at a loss what to do on each corner??? Hope you can help me! Thank you

      Hi Anna – I’m sorry, but this isn’t a method I’m familiar with. I would check online to find a tutorial from another quilter that details this method.
