Hexagon Log Cabin Quilt Block

Hexagon Log Cabin Quilt Block, by Kristen of Scrap Fabric Love Free Quilting Tutorial
Hexagon Log Cabin Quilt Block


The Hexagon Log Cabin Quilt Block, presented by Kristen of Scrap Fabric Love, offers a contemporary twist on the traditional log cabin design by incorporating a hexagonal center. This beginner-friendly block utilizes 2.5-inch fabric strips, making it an excellent project for quilters looking to use jelly roll strips or fabric scraps.

The construction begins with a small hexagon at the center, around which fabric strips are sewn in alternating rounds of accent and background colors. This method not only simplifies the assembly process but also eliminates the need for complex seams, resulting in a striking 18.5-inch square block.

For a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on creating this block, including tips on fabric selection and trimming techniques, you can visit Kristen's detailed guide on her blog.

Additionally, Kristen offers a video tutorial that visually demonstrates the process, which can be particularly helpful for visual learners.
