President’s Teachable Moment – 2025-26

March 2026

Feedback from the Spring 2025 Members’ survey had multiple requests to learn or make Log Cabin Blocks

As with many quilt blocks there are many layout possibilities from traditional to modern.

Over the next months, we plan to present the log cabin block and variations of it to make each month.

You can make one block or a group of blocks for placemats, table runners, pillows, insert into a garment, or a bag, or any size quilt

This is a great way to use scraps!

The link to the instructions is here.
