The Log Cabin technique lends itself to using many different geometric shapes as the centre piece. The samples above demonstrate this technique with a diamond and pentagon as the centre shape.
Hand dyed and Commercial Fabrics
Chevron pattern in different widths using dyed and commercial fabrics is shown above.
The pentagon shape as the central piece with hand dyed and commercial fabrics based on a drawing of a tortoise pattern.
The sample above shows log cabin blocks constructed of irregular strips and angles and sewn together to form a pleasing range of tones and lively design. The pattern formed can be interpreted as patterns and markings on some of the tortoise shell examples in Chapter 4.
This sample shows the same technique as above with coloured fabrics ready to be completed as a cushion.
The versatility of Log Cabin design leads to endless possibilities!
