Many quilters develop a large stash of scrap fabrics from all of our projects over the years. Aurora Sisneros shows us a fun way to use up that stash of scrap fabric by creating log cabin quilt squares. Watch and learn how to take any fabric you may have lying around, and turn them into beautiful quilt squares to use yourself or give as a gift!

I have watched this video several times over the years. It is a favorite! It makes me happy. Love your fabrics and your personality.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent quilting teacher you are. And no music in background, love it. Thank you .
I reallyl like this tutorial better than any other on the Log Cabin Block. She did the very best at explaining and showing me how to do this. I feel so much more confident and Cathy C,
I HAVE ALWAY'S STRUGGLED WITH LOG CABIN BLOCK AND HAVE NEVER GRASPED THE METHOD. THANKS FOR YOU CLEAR CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS I WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.
Just as I’ve been ‘planning’ a log cabin, here you are, super helpful! Love how you walk us through each step and share with us that make a huge difference. Thank you! And great meeting you! 😊
Thank you very much. You are a good teacher .
More sewing machine manufacturers are adding 1/4" quilting foot to their machines at purchase. I got one with my new Brother and your video is the best I have found so far on log cabin blocks. Thank you so, so much!
This is definitely one of the best tutorials on quilt making I’ve come across so far. Will definitely be using this technique 🤗
Thank you, greatest description of this quilt! Your a doll with beautiful nails too🤗
Love your technique of not having to pre measure and cut every piece. I do like it when one half of the block is light and the other dark. Just a personal preference. Well done!
I have watched several videos on log cabin quilting and this one is by FAR the clearest! Thank you!!!
I think you’re adorable! Thank you for this idea! I have tons of fabric in my stash!
Excellent tutorial. I love some of your tips, like not backstitching and cutting the pieces after they have been sewn on. That saves a lot of time pre-cutting.
I am just learning how to quilt/sew and I like to say Thank you! you make it so easy to follow!!! I'm so glad to find your You Tube...
Fantastic tutorial. Diction so clear. Thank you very much
Thank you for your instructions.
You are welcome!
love how you explain everything so clearly
absolutely gorgeous. Love the technique because its free style, no need to cut all pieces in exact sizes. I hate everything traditional so this is perfect for me. Thank you!
Thank you! I never had the confidence to construct a Log Cabin until NOW. Thanks for making this process seem "doable"
I really do appreciate your teaching. I love what you have saying and showing us..I have done several quilts like these. I love all the different colors and use all of them. Also, when I have scraps, I like to make pillows.......either for a gift of some size.....or there are many animals out there that would to have a wonderful pillow......I never throw out any scraps. I always use them. Thanks again.
Okay I have to say you made me laugh when you kept referring to your fabric as this guy, he or him. “Give him a chop” 😹 very easy to follow tutorial. Thank you 💕
I loved your video and sooo appreciate the fact that you are showing us how to do this log cabin w/o having to buy every single size log cabin ruler. I get frustrated learning a technique only to find that I need to buy more rulers and more tools! Thx for simplifying for my simple mind.
great video. love instructor. i enjoyed how the entire video was in real time. full of pertinent information. no fluff. thanks!
I LOVE THIS!!! I've seen so many other tutorials that leave my head spinning. This is amazing!
Best teacher ever.
Thanks for sharing great instructions ❤❤
thanks for making this block understandable. It's not rocket science, but you made it rock for me.
I've been looking for an easy pattern to use for my first full size quilt. This looks like the best choice for me. I have fabric from past projects dating back to the 80's when I sewed my boys play clothes. I also have scraps from other projects that will work for this pattern. Thank you for your tutorial.
Loved your easy way to make a log cabin!! Thank you ! I’m going to start making a block the way you just did.
Fantastic video! I finally understand the log cabin quilt. You did a great job of teaching!
This is an excellent video. It is so clear and easy to follow! I can't wait to try it!
Love that every piece does not have to be pre-measured.
very well taught.... I am new to quilting...your video was so easy to follow..Thank You So Much!!!!!!!
This is a brilliant video. Your method is the best I've seen - you have convinced me that I need to make some of these blocks. Thank you, thank you!
What a wonderful teacher you are! I’m brand new to quilting, but your instructions make me believe I CAN do it! Thanks very much.😊❤️
Wonderful tutorial. You were very detailed and that helped me immeasurably!
Love your little tip on pinning the seams. Thanks
Lovely ,I love the way you do this ,I’m going to try my first one ,thanks so much
I love the detail sometime other teachers skip over details and I learn from seeing details, Thank You 😊
Thank you for your tips. I like your ways of pressing, lining-up, and your attention to precision in each step.
Pfaff machines sound so quiet and well built lol. My singer rattles a lot :D
Such a great tip; pinning that seam so it doesn't flip on you! :)
This is the first time I’ve watched your videos and love the way you show everything as you are doing it. A lot of people don’t take the time for all that. Thank you! I make the log cabin block using 3 inch middle and 2 1/2” strips, they come out great also. And I’ve made half of block assorted whites and the other side in prints. I love that look too because you can turn blocks around and get different looks. Please do a bear claw block for me so I can see what it looks like and how it’s made. Also like the courthouse steps blocks.
Thanks so much! I will forward your request along to our experts. Please continue watching for new content. Thanks!
It's such a brilliant idea to leave the edges of each strip a little longer!
Totally love the way this tutorial is filmed. Love the overview, it makes things doubly easy to understand. I'm going to try this block ASAP. Thank you so much
I loved this tutorial!
First time viewer, already subscribed! Love your clear instructions. Thanks, the log cabin is my all time favorite .
Love listening how you explain, thank you so much!
Great step by step tutorial and I didn’t get lost.
Love this video. Great tutorial. Thank you.
I’ve been sewing since I was 9 never thought I’ll find another young one starter. I would make my own Barbie doll clothes and furniture because I’m from a family of 12 children there was not a lot of money.
Well done! So easy to follow 😘👍🏻
I’m new to quilting and even by following your instructions, which are perfect by the way, my final square was all wonky and didn’t end up with a 12x12, but rather 11 1/4 x 11 1/4. My first square was about 6x6. And I’m using a 1/4 in. Foot, so no idea what i did wrong. I don’t want to give up though, I’ll try and make my second square better than the first
My name is vessa i enjoy your videos it give me a ideas, a log cabin square block for my next quilts and enturn the quilting show thank you ..
love it. can't wait to try this. you make it seem so easy!!!!
Thank you. For writing in i have a lot of children’s material i like this pattern maybe i start one today thanks
Another great idea is to save the tiny cuts to stuff a pillow with. Then you really haven't put any waste in the land fill
Love to watch you; so relaxed and your work area is perfect for your project. It really saves time when you don't have to get 'up to press', then 'up to cut', then back to the machine. I'm taking this whole month to thin my stash and this looks like a good place to start.
I love how easy this is, and and I don't have arrangements, I might be able to tackle this log cabin, thanks for teaching.
Wow!!! Thanks for clear instructions and tips, I will start today itself.....
love it. so easy and looks beautiful. thank you !
A really helpful video with lots of useful tips. Thanks very much.
New to quilting thank you clear instructions and tips and going at a pace I could follow and learn how to make an easy block:}
Beautiful and you r a great moderator..
I love your fingernails as well as your tutorial.
Very easy n good idea mam..tnq very much...
Very helpful tutorial and well taught. Thanks.
That Pfaff sure sounds sweeeeet.
Love love 👏👏👏
Just a note. Notice that when you add the 4th log and all the rest, you always add a new log on the side with the two seams.
Thank you! Great video!
I love this pattern!
Great tutorial and love your fingernails!
I love this ! Thank you !
Man do I wish I had the means to get a bunch of fabric!
Love Love Love it!!!
Easy to follow, thank you☺️
Alive this method.... Thanks.
Какой милый и простой блок! Спасибо!
well done 😁. thanks for sharing! 😁
Great video! Question - you showed how to check previous seams when trimming to make sure they are parallel (not wonky because of "stack and whack") but you don't show how to fix it if it's off. Suggestions?
thank you so much. . This is great
Top👍👍
good tip for beginners, measure from the ruler, not the mat!
Inspirational
Good
Can I make this with left over 2 1/2 strips? Would I need to change the 3 1/2 center piece? This looks like great fun. Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial!
Can my strips be 2 1/2 right out of the jelly roll pack? Love your demo.

Great job your block is so pretty. Great teacher.
Love this technique. Can this be done with strip pieced, making multiple blocks as you go?
Hello Sharon,
Yes, any time you can stitch off the edge of your work you can strip piece.Cheers,

Great instruction. How do we find more videos by you?
Hello Dorene, you can search for "Aurora Sisneros" to find more videos! ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=aurora+sisneros
Hi there I would like to know if you prewash your fabrics
I have questions! After the first 3 1/2 block are the strips 2 1/2?
Yes
Love the idea. How wide are the strips you are using? I know the center is three and a half inches square.
Mary Kay Harman I think she said that she was using 2" strips at the very first of the video.
+Mary Kay Harman 2.5in strips to make 2in finished strips.
She uses 2" strips that finish 1 1/2", that's how she can get a final 12" block (3" of the finished central square + 3 strips either side that finish 1 1/2" each strip).
very nice . you are very beautiful like our indian film star.
My stack and whack pile is often unsquared which you pay for later. THANKS!
Nicely taught. Can a log cabin block be achieved with strips of varying widths in the same block if they are cut straight?
Hi,Yes, you could absolutely use this technique and attach strips in varying widths, however it would just no longer be a traditional log cabin quilt block.
Cheers,
Ashley
Curvy log cabin might be what you want. Still square but looks curvy
I like your video - I like your detail - but...... as careful as you were with everything how come you didn't show how important it is to set your seams BEFORE you fold the fabric back and iron it???
I'm new to this. what did you mean by setting the seams before you iron them? Thank you
dcwatashi after sewing two pieces of fabric together you "iron over" what you just sewed to "set" the seam/set the thread - then you open the seam or fold back the seam or whatever you are going to do and iron it - when you sew the bottom fabric (or feeddog side) of the fabric feeds thru the machine at a slightly faster pace then the top fabric and setting the seam by ironing it just makes the thread and fabric ease into each other and straighten - that is why the trick of sewing curves is to put the longer part of the curve on the bottom towards the feeddogs because that slight difference helps the curve to sew better and lay flatter
+jmarylastone so if I am following you correctly, what she should have done is also turned the fabric over and pressed the seam open. I kind of wondered that myself thinking maybe she is just going to surge the seams when she's finished
dcwatashi depends on the seam and what you are going to do with the seam on if you would iron it open or not - most of the time a seam is ------ set (ironed from the sewing side/wrong side) - pressed toward the light or dark (ironed from the sewing side/wrong side) than turned over and pressed on the right side
+jmarylastone oh, so that the seam won't show as much through the darker colored fabric? And thank you so much for helping me. of course most people, like myself are very visual so I am trying to imagine or picture what you are referring to. How about if you could make a video on pressing seams? That would be kind of nice!! :-)
👏😊
