Log cabin quilts are pieced quilts featuring blocks made of strips of fabric typically encircling a small centered square. Dramatic contrast effects with light and dark fabrics are created by various layouts of the blocks when forming a quilt top. The Log Cabin block generally uses three different colors. Traditionally the center square is red, symbolizing the hearth.
The log cabin quilt block begins with a center fabric square which is surrounded by fabric strips called logs. The logs are joined to the block in a circular fashion starting with shorter logs and working out to the longer ones. Log cabin quilt design variations include: using larger and fewer logs; incorporating a court house steps layout with logs sewn to the block on opposite sides rather than in a circular fashion; using many different fabrics - giving the quilt a scappy look; varying the width of the logs and giving the illusion of curves; and utilizing triangles, diamonds, hexagons, or other shapes.
