The block of the month (January 2014) is a foundation pattern, but you can also sew it the traditional way. When making a double sided Log Cabin, take a 15 x 15 cm piece of fiberfill. Draw the blok twice on teabag paper (TB). Name one piece A1-5, B and the other A1’-5’, B’.

 

How to sew:

 

• Put B’ right side of the fabric (RSF) down on the table.  

• Put one piece of the fiberfill on top of B’, continue you work in this corner of the block.

• Put A1 RSF up and A2 RSF down on top of each other, put it at the position of.

• Put a piece of TB on top of this and pin in place.

• Sew the line between A1 and A2, You also sew through triangle B’.

• Tear away the TB carefully and fold open A2.

• Put A3 on top of A2 , put the TB back on top of it and pin in place.

• Sew the line between A1 and A3, tear away the TB carefully and fold open A3.

• Repeat this order when you sew the next pieces.

• When all pieces are sewn, pin B on top of A1-5, RSF down.

• Turn your work upside down.

• Put A1’ on top of triangle B’, put a piece of TB on top of this and pin in place.

• Sew the line between A1’ and B’, tear away the TB carefully and fold open A1’ and B (attention, B is at the backside).

• Pin A2’ on top of A1’ and follow the instruction above. You now sew through triangle B.
