In the latter part of the 19th century many Log Cabin quilts were made using fabric scraps that were popular during that time including silk, velvet, wool, and satin.
Because the fabrics were of different weights they were difficult to sew together. Quilters stared using a foundation, usually muslin, to sew pieces together to make blocks.
When it came time to sew blocks together to make a quilt top, the thickness of the blocks and foundation made quilting the tops difficult. Some quilts made during this time did not have batting, again because of the thickness, and many were tied instead of quilted.
As we moved into the 20th century, shirtings in mourning gray, indigo, and claret along with plaids were fabrics that quilters were using to make Log Cabin blocks. The 1930s introduced pastels for a totally different look. SEE ALSO:Â Quilt Quake free patterns
