Here Kitty Kitty Quilt Tutorial ~ Log Cabin Block

"Kitty in the Cabin" Quilt ~ Log Cabin Block

Here are the cutting instructions to pre-cut

 log cabin strips to size.

  

That said,  I used my preferred method ...

I cut WOF strips ... 

... and sewed and trimmed as I went along.

I fussy cut 3.5" center squares

I set the squares on he strips and sewed. 

Press

Trim

Repeat

 Continue this for each addition. 

I always trim and square my blocks after each strip is added.

I would do this even if I had precut my strips to size to keep my block square

back of block

My pressing preference is to press all seams inward.

front of block 

Block measures 12.5 square unfinished.

Make 8 log cabin blocks.
