Log-cabin house block



by Linda Theil

One of the blocks in the 2026 Fat Quarter Shop's Sewcialites 3 free, sew-along is a very cute, log-cabin house designed by Robin Pickens.

I couldn't wait until March to try the log-cabin house so I designed my own simplified version to make into a birthday card this week, but it came out too big for a card, so I made it into a 16x16-inch, birthday pillow!


All the quilting is done on my domestic machine, but I did a little hand quilting on the house motif for textural interest. Here is the back of the pillow. The removable pillow-cover is fastened with a white, number-five zipper.

Here is the inside view with bound, interior seams.


My version of the design features a basic, log-cabin block with half-square triangles for the roof. I intend to refine my version of this block; but, I am also looking forward to making the Robin Pickins' original when it is released for Fat Quarer Shop's Sewcialites3 in the Spring!
