log cabin quilt
Squared fabric homestead
A log cabin quilt is a traditional patchwork quilt pattern built from strips of fabric arranged around a central square, suggesting the stacked logs of a cabin wall.
The center square is traditionally red (representing the hearth) or yellow (representing a lantern in the window).
The strips alternate light and dark fabrics, creating geometric effects when blocks are arranged together: She's working on a log cabin quilt in autumn colors.
