Log Cabin Hearts

In the midst of my machine quilting binge, I received a call from Calico Point, another quilt is finished, this time it's Log Cabin Hearts.

I don't know the name of this quilting design but it's very pretty. A close up of one of the blocks.

Displayed on our bed.

I haven't used a flange binding for several years but it adds a touch of color to the edge of the outside border.


You need to stitch slowly to sew the flange without sewing onto the binding section.


I used white thread on the flange. 

Log Cabin Hearts finishes at 95" square. The directions on the pattern has a very wide outside border. I didn't want that wide of a border.

The Log Cabin Hearts pattern was designed by Esther Hershberger back in 1996. It's an older pattern and has templates instead of rotary cutter instructions. I measured the templates for cutting measurements.

Well done...I'll be using the phlange on the baby quilt when it gets back from the longarmer's.

She certainly is a beauty! I’ve not yet put a flange onto a quilt, but again “one day!”

Oh that's so, so pretty! Love the flange binding, and the quilting is just beautiful. I bought that pattern because of you - someday I'll do it!

I'm glad you finally got the pattern. I added more blocks because I don't like terribly wide borders like the pattern calls for. I can't wait to see how your quilt turns out, happy stitching!

What a beautiful twist on as old favorite! I like to do flange borders. I have an easy way to do it, given to me by a quilt buddy.

What a great idea to add the flange to the border. I haven't done it in a while, either, but it is absolutely perfect for this quilt.
