En patchwork, le Log Cabin est un des blocs traditionnels le plus connu et le plus aimé.
The Log Cabin quilt block is one of the most well-known and beloved of traditional quilt designs.
Un motif dans lequel des bandes de tissu étroites entourent un carré central pour former un bloc. Les bandes peuvent être piécées, ou cousues sur un support en papier ou en tissu.
Aux Etats-Unis, le modèle traditionnel comprend généralement un carré central rouge, qui symbolise le foyer d’une maison, ou un centre jaune pour une lumière accueillante à la fenêtre. Une moitié du bloc utilise des tissus clairs pour représenter le côté ensoleillé de la maison, et à l'opposé des tissus sombres pour le côté ombragé.

Ce bloc est souvent associé au mouvement pionnier des années 1800 aux États-Unis, cependant des motifs similaires ont été trouvés sur des momies égyptiennes anciennes et dans un quilt anglais antérieur à 1830.
Traditional log cabin block typically use a red center square, meant to symbolize the hearth of a home, or a yellow center for a welcoming light in the window. One half is made of light fabrics for the sunny side of the house and dark values on the opposite side for the shady side.
These blocks are often associated with the pioneer movement of the 1800s in United States. However, similar designs have been found on ancient Egyptian mummies and in an English quilt predating 1830.
Le Log Cabin se construit indifféremment dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, ou dans l'autre. Commencer par assembler le carré du centre au carré qui sera à côté (1 et 2). Ajouter un rectangle de la même longueur que ces 2 carrés ensemble (3). Puis tourner autour de ce centre en ajoutant des rectangles à une extrémité (4, puis 5, 6, etc.) jusqu'à obtenir la largeur du bloc désirée.
The Log Cabin block is built clockwise or counterclockwise. Start by assembling the square from the centre to the square next to it (1 and 2). Add a rectangle the same length as these two squares together (3). Then turn around this center adding rectangles at one end (4, then 5, 6, etc.) until you get the desired width for the block.

Hi Frederique! I noticed you came by for the letter L already. It's 2:54 in the morning here and I can't sleep so.... here I am :) tu as de belles couettes! For some reason I am most pleased with Julie Baird pineapple quilt block. I like the colour purple and white together. The second one I like is Brigitte Morgenroth. That one is so nice reminding me of ocean waves. Oh the snowman and log cabin is such a work of art that I would want it hanging on the wall. Very nice. Jackie's Bookbytes Letter L
