Log Cabin Quilt Patterns
Log cabin quilts have evolved over the years. The traditional log cabin quilt patterns are squares in nature. In the past 10 years, I have seen different types of quilts made using the log cabin quilt patterns.
Applique Quilt Patterns
Sunbonnet Sue is the most popular type of an applique quilt patterns. However, there are multitudes of different applique quilt patterns I have found some quilters may not have known about or thought of making.
