Top sewing tip

A log cabin block is quick but looks complicated, making it great for impressing friends; as long as strips are cut to the same width and worked in the same direction, it’s easy to create a neat pattern – just cut strips of different patterns, stitch and trim as you go, with minimal seam matching; keep the seam allowance even and the assembly comes together effortlessly.
