There are many ways and sizes to make Log Cabin blocks, which involve different strip widths, color combinations, and overall planning. Fabrics need to be 100% cotton, and color selection should be confined to shades of red, white or cream, and blue, and can be solids or small scale prints.

Along with the Log Cabin Block Instructions, we are featuring 12 patterns for creating your Log Cabin Quilts. All 12 pattern links are as follows: Barn Raising, Heart in the Cabin, Field and Furrows, Medallion Star, Medallions in Gold, Medallions, Mountains and Valleys, Parade Rest, Pinwheel Star, Pinwheels, Star in the Middle, and Welcome Home.

You can mail your blocks to:

Nancy Cann
2025 Quilt Block Drive
709 Lukie Drive
Nicholasville, KY 40356

Please send any questions to blockdrive@qovf.org.

Mailing instructions:

1. If mailing ONE block, fold it carefully and mail in a standard business size envelope with a “forever” stamp. It cannot be more than ¼” thick.

2. If mailing more than ONE block, use a manila envelope (remove the metal clasp as that make it non-machine able and costs more) and take it to the post office to have postage attached.

3. If sending a lot of blocks, place them in a Ziploc bag and put a label with your name and address IN THE BAG.

4. If you want to be notified that your quilt block donation has been received, please include a note in your block package with your name, email address, and/or cell phone number.

Reporting your Blocks:

We want to recognize those blocks as their own, so please email your counts to blockdrive@qovf.org. The purpose of the national block drive is to give individuals or groups who wish to make just a few blocks, but not assemble a quilt, have their block(s) in quilts made across the nation. These blocks can be assembled many ways into a QOV. These blocks will assist State Coordinators. They will also help fill requests not covered by local groups and ease their backlogs.
