Log Cabin
Hi EverybodyI a new to this site. I would like suggestions of what design to machine quilt a log cabin pattern. I am stuck! It is all assembled, sandwiched and laying quite nicely on the floor. I just can't think what to do next with it. Suggestions? SOFIA

Welcome from Michigan! It depends a bit on the layout of your log cabin. This board has a picture gallery of quilts. You can see the quilting in many of them. Click on the picture for a large view.

Welcome from SC Texas. I have been wanting to do one and when I do I am going to do stitch in the ditch. One of the prettiest ones I have seen was done that way and it made log's stand out so pretty.

Well Ladies thanks for replies. Here's a picture of the quilt I made for my granddaughter, Madison for her dorm next year. I can stipple well but don't think it should have that design. Stitching around each log is way too much. I am really stuck.

Are you quilting on a regular sewing machine? If so I might go for a vine with leaves down the rows of dark/light sections of the logs. There are a lot of seams so I think I would look for a design to go on the diagonal rather than on the seams.

Traditionally (mid 1800s) the log cabin was often quilted with the Baptist Fan design.
