The Log Cabin quilt block is one of the most versatile blocks ever created. Traditionally, there would be a red fabric in the center of the block to signify the fire in the fireplace of the cabin. Then the "logs" (fabric strips) are placed around the "fire".
There's a great tutorial for doing Log Cabin blocks at the Quilter's Cache here. Marcia Hohn of the Quilter's Cache explains how to create this block so even a beginning quilter can understand and make this beautifully.
The quilt shown here is one that I sold in my Etsy shop and uses a variety of blues and creams/whites. I decided to break from tradition and use blue for the center instead of red for this quilt.
