Quilt Notes: According to Nancy Cabot's 1930's Chicago Tribune column, the LOG CABIN design is one of the oldest, says Cabot, "in quiltdom." This version is illustrated in the QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY by Rhoda Ochser Goldberg, 1988, with two traditional variations, and for which there are innumerable settings used to assemble the blocks into a full quilt — producing very different over-all patterns. Online see McCalls and other sites for free cutting and piecing instructions.
