Happy New Year 2025!
As I was doing a little poking around on the internet looking for ideas for a quilt to make this winter, I came across a question:
What is the most well-known and popular patchwork quilt pattern of all time?
It is the Log Cabin block and it is our quilt show’s theme this year:
The Log Cabin-Home away from Home.
For pioneers traveling west the log cabin pattern symbolized home, warmth, love and security. The center square of the block was done in red to represent the hearth, the focal point of life in a cabin or home.
I am looking forward to our quilt show this year to see how many interpretations of this theme will be entered, then walking through the rows and rows of quilts, I love seeing the creativity of our quilters, and imagining all the hard work and love put into the quilts.
Quilters are just amazing!
