Erica your instructions are always so clear and easy to understand. I have watched many of your videos and am a subscriber. I love this quilt! Thank you for all you share with us!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just finished the log cabin for my grandma for her birthday next month!! I cant wait to see her unwrap her quilt❤❤
I earned years ago that the history of the log cabin quilt is if you give a log cabin quilt to someone, the center block should be red. This represents the heart of the home❤️
Hello! I just stepped out of my sewing room as I'm now working on Christmas gifts. I'm so grateful to be able to sit and watch your video. I hope you have a glorious week ahead! Thank you for sharing this and for your time to make this.
Erica I want to make a “log cabin” I have made Christmas table runner with log cabin blocks - for some reason I have been nervous about making a quilt - I think I’m “scared “ of locks being wonky - you now have given me the push to do one 💗
So pretty. I’m still struggling with learning to quilt. I’ve made one log cabin quilt top jelly roll. I don’t really know much, just trying to learn. I like that you have background material also. I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m in my seventies and had never learned to quilt. I don’t really know what quilt design to do. I’d love to try to free motion quilting but a little afraid I’ll mess it up. Thanks Erica. You’re a great teacher.🌹
Check out my FMQ video ua-cam.com/video/ZCHLA1P43gw/v-deo.html you can also just practice on a sample piece before working on your actual quilt! It's a lot of fun :)
I too, am learning at 66 yrs old. I'd convinced myself I hated sewing in high school. I still only make quilt. Have finished 7 tops, and have a tote of ones I want to "get to." But there are a lot of resources in UA-cam. That is how I've learned. My sister has sewn all her 75 years (haha) and I showed her something the other day. If you want suggestions on other instructors, let me know.
Hi Erica! I am a brand new quilter and wanted to tell you that I am loving your tutorials and info videos. This particular video was the easiest to understand for making the log cabin blocks that I have seen so far. I actually took notes and added them to my 'how to" binder so I know how to cut the strips and how many to cut for the size quilt I want to make. Thank you so much!
Great way to use up the mountains of scraps we always accumulate. I might even prefer scrap quilts anymore. I just finished a log cabin quilt with jelly rolls for a Christmas gift for a great granddaughter. Excellent beginner pattern!
Thank you Erica for this tutorial, it definitely looks beginner friendly for a beginner like me. And these fabrics will make an absolutely beautiful log cabin quilt. Your explanations are awesome, much appreciated 👏🏻
Love it!!! I love that jelly roll too, absolutely gorgeous! I just wish they weren't so expensive. But guess who is gonna run over to Fat Quarter Shop right now to see what they have on sale? :)
This is awesome. I’d have to make it larger as grown children and grandchildren have queen or king sized beds. No problem with this pattern, add blocks and borders. I would love to make a bookcase quilt and a photo one. Also the attic window. Any time you’re bored, sitting with nothing to do (LOL), feel free to do a tutorial one one or all. My daughter has murder mystery books published, so being able to put HER book titles in the "bookcase," would be amazing…
Love it! Thanks for doing this. I have been making small projects of yours and quilting them but, I have not made a quilt just yet. I hope to do this soon. Congrats on your new long arm. Fancy! ;0)
Ooh! So excited to see more of your long arm!! I quilt all my own quilts also - on my Berning 350. I can imagine how much fun a long arm must be! What kind is it?
@@erica_arndt once I can thread it and figure out the auto needle threader I think I’ll be ok. Tried to do a couple of drops of oil in the 6 holes, I squeezed the oil bottle and nothing came out. Yup I took the cap off. Going to go play with it tomorrow. Thank you for having it in your Amazon store with an excellent price. ♥️
Hello, you make this look so easy….. I was wondering when you said this would be an easy quilt as you go do you have a video for that method? I want to quilt but I am beyond beginner 😊
Hi! I don't have a QAYG for this particular block, but you can follow this video tutorial and do it the exact same way: ua-cam.com/video/Hfn13KReGCU/v-deo.html
Thank you for the free pattern and tutorial. I recently seeed a free pattern from fat quarter. I got batting that was thick and not fun to work with. What kind of batting do you use? Where can I get it?
Hi Kathy...For a new quilter picking a batting for a project can be so confusing! So many choices, im sure there's lots of help on UA-cam for tutorials on types of batting to use depending on what kinna affects you're trying to achieve, but if your looking for something thats easy to machine quilt something that will say on the label of the package as low loft will be a good start. And there's lots of resources online to buy batting and of course try to search out local quilt or fabric shops, good luck and remember finished is better then perfect!
I use Warm N White 100% Cotton Batting: amzn.to/39MBwFl , it's one of my faves! I've also heard great things about Quilter's Dream but haven't tried it yet!
Love this! Your tutorials are so easy to understand. I just bought the pattern 😃 What quilting machine (longarm?) are you using? I think you said it was new but I couldn’t find any info about it. Thanks!
Love this video! It makes the quilt so approachable for quilters of any experience label. Erica, what software do you use to chart and plan your quilt designs - especially when you are doing alternative colors and block layouts like you did for this pattern in the pdf?
How can I quilt it? I do not have a long arm. I would love to make this out of my daddy's shirts. He passed away. But I don't know how to finish it without a long arm.
Hi, I have two tutorials quilting on my home sewing machine :) Straight Line Quilting: ua-cam.com/video/NGl8ImIIyFg/v-deo.html Free Motion Quilting: ua-cam.com/video/ZCHLA1P43gw/v-deo.html
How difficult was it to learn to use your long arm machine? I want to get one, but I am really intimidated by it. I think it's the rolling up the three layers that seems daunting...
Great quilting on the long arm. Have you thought about pantographs? I love the variety of patterns, and it is so easy with the back handlebars. Love the quilt!
I took a quilting class & made my 1st quilt. The log cabin block taught me to respect the 1/4” seam. My first block ended up too small. I had to cut out a new quilt block. Beware!!!
Yes, but the good news is that with this block, you can just trim them all the same size. Even if it's a bit small as long as they're all the same you're good to go!
I hope you all enjoy this easy beginner-friendly quilt pattern!
Pattern?

Yes, this is true, the center represented the fireplace in the home :)
Wow did you and when did you add the white fabric into the quilt design. I love it.
I love your taste in fabric! It’s the same as mine and you are my favorite quilt girl 😊👍🏻
Great tutorial and it’s great there’s no matching seams to worry about. The versatility of this pattern makes it so user friendly for kids too

You can do it miss dee. Trust yourself. It'll all come together. No one taught me either. You can do it

Hi Erica. Just wanted you to know that I purchased the Juki from your Amazon link. Huge savings. Thank you.
Oh thank you so much, I hope you love it!

Erica, so enjoy all your videos, thanks for all the inspiration. Have you did a video about your new quilting machine? Just wondering if I missed it.

Fab! Lovely quilt x
Very cute. Fun to make!
💕🌸Love your quilt.
Can you do a video on your long arm machine please...I would love to know which one you got...I'm interested in getting one soon...Thank you
Yep, coming soon!
So fun! What fabric collection is it that you are sewing the block in this video? it's darling.
Hi, I show the unwrapped jelly roll at the very beginning, it's a FigTree Catalina from my stash :)
I think you mentioned it was from your Tilda scraps. Just a mixture of collections?
Love it! Thank you
I'm looking for the granny square bag.
What is the name of the white fabric you use in all of your quilts? I love your tutorials!
Hi, I use Moda 9900-97 it's a nice creamy white!
Love this video! It makes the quilt so approachable for quilters of any experience label. Erica, what software do you use to chart and plan your quilt designs - especially when you are doing alternative colors and block layouts like you did for this pattern in the pdf?
I use electric quilt.
Love this, thank you so much!
How does the iron keep popping up? What brand is that iron? TY
It's this one, and the bottom legs pop up when you remove your hand from the iron. www.oliso.com?aff=48aff=38
I didn’t see the pattern name of the jelly roll you used in the description box.
Hi, I showed it at the beginning of the video, it's Catalina by FigTree :)
Thank you. I must have missed it and was distracted by the lovely quilt. 😊❤️😊❤️

@@erica_arndt Thank you! I'm retiring next year, and I want to try doing my own quilting.
Can you use the best press spray on a wool mat?
Yes, I believe so
Where can I purchase your pdf quilt patterns

Maybe a dumb question, but what brand iron are you using?

What New Longarm machine do you have?
I have a Juki TL2200 QVP Virtuoso. I don't think they make them anymore, their new model is called a Miyabi.

Yes, but the good news is that with this block, you can just trim them all the same size. Even if it's a bit small as long as they're all the same you're good to go!
Where do I find the seam li es to put on my sewing machine as a guide
