Quilt Shot Block #96~ No Tear Paper Piecing Log Cabin

Log Cabin

 6½ inch block

No Tear Paper Piecing

Log Cabin Foundation Paper Piece

found in

the May/June 2009 Fons & Porter Love of Quilting Magazine

(see below for more information)

However a quick web search can bring up several Log Cabin Foundation patterns you can download.

I used the same method to make this Log Cabin block that I made 

Quilt Shot Block #93~ No Tear Paper Piecing Woven Star

Dug into my scraps for these tiny 1/2 inch strips.

Remember for "No Tear" paper piecing, stitching is not done through the paper,

but rather the paper is folded on the stitch line,

and fabrics are stitched just beside the stitch line.

 

Small pins are used to hold pieces in place during stitching and pressing.

This pattern does start out with a rather large center.

Paper was folded as the piece progressed.

Every other counter clockwise

 

When half of a log cabin is done with dark verses light fabrics,

there are many layout designs that can be created.

 

 

And there are probably more?
