  • Get an up-close look at the January 2025 Quilting Life Block of the Month. Visit Sherri's blog for the free PDF pattern for this month's block. Sherri also provides some details for this year's sew-along. This year's pattern will consist of 18-inch log cabin blocks with 6-inch centerpieces that will change each month. There will also be an option to finish a quilt with just the 6-inch centerpieces. We are excited to have everyone sewing along with us this year!

    Just a recommendation I learned long ago. If you can, cut your logs out of the lengthwise grain and they won't stretch and throw your block out of whack.

    Your channel appeared randomly in my feeds, so grateful, sometimes algorithms could be nice☺️. I love houses!
    Wish me luck. This will be my 1st official quilt ever. I just embarked on quilting journey last year and I’ve been
    practicing with my scraps but never did a formal full size quilt.
    I’m very excited! Love the colors of your fabrics❤. Liked and subscribed.

    I can not believe this. I just asked on Kimberly's Facebook page if anyone knew of a quilt that uses both a jelly roll and layer cake. I'm super happy. Thank you Sherri x

    I have made a few log cabin quilts and one with a center block. So thinking I will piece the centers and then decide how to set in a larger block. Not a star, but will fun to think about throughout the year.

    OMB I am over the moon about this BOTM! 🤩 This actually popped up on my feed as I was on a treadmill run (snow + ice = no roads, no way), and it was everything I could do not to pause it to whip out my phone and gush.🤣 I have really loved getting back into Log Cabins, I have plenty of Laguna Sunrise and some leftover Strawberry Lemonade to use for it, and the varied small blocks are going to be so crazy cute inside the logs! I love that it will be flexible, too, as I prefer to make final decisions on quilts like these after I have enough material to get a "feel" for the whole. Thank you for this awesome year of blocks to come! 💖

    I love the log cabin quilt pattern with your center house block! I'm going to make the quilt with all center houses. I will use jelly rolls from many of your past collections too. The strips go a long way so I want to use what I have all the way back to Harper's Garden. Love them all! Thanks for this sew along! ❤🎀❤

This block is one of my favorite blocks. Also, I love the bigger finished quilt size this will be. I am using Simply Delightful.

    Thanks, Sherri, for another great FREE block of the month project. I just completed Heart of the Home this past weekend. It was my first log cabin quilt. I'm very excited to make another.
    Am I correct in assuming that some of the center, 6" blocks, will not have a "right side up" so that flipping them to make the diagonal "logs" will be easy?

    Such a fun idea. I have multiple sew/quilt alongs that I am trying this year....including the Brightly Sampler (loving it) so one more addition can't hurt!! Went through my jellyroll stash (Ok...5 jellyrolls), picked one and am cutting the strips. Hand surgery coming in the next few months and won't be able to cut fabric for a while after so I am precutting as much as I can

    Ok great for new pattern. I have fat quarter bundle for blocks. So1 yard background for smashing and inner border so fabric to be used where- so u don’t use from fat quarter bundle for that . 1/2yard contrast don’t use from fat quarter bundle either. And 1 1/4 yards out order buy extra also. Thank you just making sure..

    In the video you said that you could use a fat eight bundle. Did you mean for all of the 18" blocks? In the fabric requirements it says a fat quarter bundle. I'm excited to make this quilt this year! I have a Laguna Sunrise layer cake and want to get any additional fabric while it's still available! Thanks for doing this every year! It's so fun!
