Although this video has one of the most longest and complicated names in the world (!), I guarantee it's a lot simpler to make than to say!
With that in mind, I've approached the teaching of the block assuming that you have a fair understanding of how Foundation Paper-Piecing works. If you're new to the technique, perhaps have a look at this video first • TUTORIAL: Foundation P... and then come back to this one.
So like I say in the video, this is my own pattern, naively made in 2013. So after a few requests and suggestions to make this block, here it is for you to explore, fold, pin, stitch and rip apart!!
GET THE PATTERN: goo.gl/osCW3s
The list of tools I used...
- Brother Innovis 200QE sewing machine
- Brother 1/4" sewing foot
- Gutermann polyester thread
- Fiskars Rotary Blade and Cutting Mat
- Sew Easy Rulers
- UHU Glue Stick
- Triumph Craft Scissors
- Birch Non-Melt Flower Head Quilting Pins
- Clover Thread Snips goo.gl/5JlHVE
- Clover Serrated Tracing Wheel goo.gl/kS3aoi
- Clover Finger Presser goo.gl/IOXilY
- A tonne of scrap fabric strips

Amanda, this has been such a help to me. Your instructions are so clear. I can't thank you enough.

@stinebl1 8 лет назад

I just finished paper - pieced blocks and could not have done it without your tutorial. I watched several others, but your method was so much easier to understand. Thank you for sharing the information.

@AmandaRolfe 8 лет назад

+stinebl1 That's so great to know, thank you! :)

@sheilakeller2269 8 лет назад

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial! I would not change a single thing! I was looking for a demonstration of a more difficult paper-pieced block and this really helped! Thank you!

@AmandaRolfe 8 лет назад

+Sheila Keller Thank you so much!! Have fun making!! :)

@Quilting4fun 6 месяцев назад

This is such a good video. I’ve been wanting to make it for so long. Thank you for the tutorial and the pattern download.

@welderella 8 лет назад

I printed out the pattern. Thank you so much for the pattern and also the idea of poking holes along the sew lines and folding it. Thank you.

@sarahlee6476 8 лет назад

My children and I have sat here on different days watching some of your tutorials, and this one is fantastic! I've made one block already as a "tester", and now all 4 of my little ones want me to make them little lap quilts with this pattern... two of them have already chosen their fabrics hehe. Thank you very much for yet another wonderfully informative tutorial!!

@AmandaRolfe 8 лет назад

Yay! That's so great to know! Have fun making! :)

Using the serated tracing wheel is genius! I just LOVE the way you make this wonky lob cabin block; it's now at the top of on my list for scrap quilts and I've downloaded the PDF pattern from your blog . Thanks!

@AmandaRolfe 8 лет назад

+newbeequilter Thank you!! Have fun making!! :)

@faithjensen7844 9 лет назад

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

Faith Jensen That's so wonderful to know! It's my absolute pleasure to be making these tutorials for you! :)

@Hiker_who_Sews 8 лет назад

I've paper pieced before, but didn't use the tracing wheel. Such a good idea!

@AmandaRolfe 8 лет назад

+Rillo Brillo I know, right! It will change your life, guaranteed!! :D

@joedyermech 7 лет назад

Hello! Started my wonky log cabin quilt, so happy! I've lots of flannel scraps from Jammies and shirts, I will post a photo when I figure out how!

@raptorboy7979 9 лет назад

This is a great tutorial. I bought a kit because the finished product was so pretty. I had no clue what paper piecing was. The kit was obviously for more skilled sewers as the instructions stated" stitch in numerical order" Following this tutorial I was able to complete my project. yea!!

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

+Molly McKee Yay!! That's great!! Well done! :)

@sherrymarks5530 8 лет назад

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

Jamie P Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm a self-taught quilter too! Learning from books was my thing before RU-vid came along! Happy Sewing!! :)

@elizabethgriffin9434 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am wanting to paper piece a Union Jack using Tula Pink's Elizabeth line and this video helped me tremendously. I love the idea of using the tracing wheel to outline the seams so the paper comes off easily. One other suggestion I have from doing strip piecing is to set your stitch length to 2 or less. It will perforate the paper which will peel off a little more easily.

@AmandaRolfe 7 лет назад

Yes, shortening the stitch length is always something I forget to mention! I agree, it does makes peeling the paper away a lot easier. :)

@lindabrush8054 8 лет назад

I love this!!! So cool! I am brand new to quilting but I can't wait to try my hand at this! BTW....you are adorable and I so enjoy listening to you! :) Thank you

@2112Dahlia 9 лет назад

My favourite! Foundation paper piecing! I'll definitely be making this one, the pattern looks great by the way. Very possibly I'll send you a pic when I get it done, oh and by the way Amanda, your baby niece is sooo adorable! And what a way to get here too!!!

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

2112Dahlia YAY! I love a good Foundation Paper-Pieced pattern too! I'm still on the look-out for a good book dedicated entirely to some good modern type FPP designs! And yes! Amelia had a very memorable way entering the world! Four weeks on and it's still seems just as crazy! (And I'm still just as proud and in love!!) Looking forward to see your finished block!! :)

@loraineh59 6 лет назад

@belannatorres4777 9 лет назад

Hi Amanda, I would love to see you make a tutorial on the Card Trick and Snail Trail block....great channel! Really enjoy the chatty videos over the fancy edited ones, less rewinding. :)

@lizardchik79 9 лет назад

Great video, I loved the pictures as you added each section at the end, it's awesome! I'm hoping to make a few of these blocks to make a small table runner for my hubby's dresser, our bedroom tv sits on in it. I'll try to share photos if I get to make it!

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

Liz G Thanks! That last little photo bit was inspired by my latest Stop-Motion Embroidery video! :) I can't wait to see the lovely job you'll do with this block! I love the idea of incorporating this block into a table runner! Happy Sewing!!

Omg thankyou thankyou thankyou (yes it was meant to say thankyou 3 times) ive been going crazy with log cabin paper piecing and been going wrong, with doing it step by step with yourself ive mastered it yay!!!!!!!!!! One again thanks

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

Beck Alexander Yay!!!! You're more than welcome! :D

@knitinknit 9 лет назад

Your fabric selections are always like candy! Could you make a video talking about how you select fabrics? You just have a really unique sense of color and pattern. I keep wondering if you stick with the same brand, or have a tendency toward modern or florals, some little trick that makes your combinations sparkle so.

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

knitinknit Thanks so much! My trick to choosing fabrics is to just simply pick out a main fabric and match other fabrics with similar colours. I like it particularly when prints clash i.e. Florals and Spots or a bold Floral with a Geometric print. And then I'll throw in a solid colour if I feel things are getting a bit too out of hand! Generally, I tend to gravitate towards bold geometric type prints, spots and stripes. Sometimes I like a good little novelty print depending on the subject and quality. I do also love a good old fashion floral! Liberty floral fabrics are my favourite!! :D But that's a really great suggestion for a future video I could do! Thanks! It's on the list!

Thanks Amanda, I love this block... have you ever thought of writing a book with all your patterns? As I mentioned before, I love your videos. They are well done and easy to follow.

@AmandaRolfe 9 лет назад

Shirley Drury Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy watching! I would love to have the opportunity to write and publish my own quilting book! Although, I don't think I'm quite ready to do that just yet. I still feel I have so much more to learn! :)

Lordy , I got to the 5th space and realized I ended up cutting off space 4 somehow. There's a lovely 1/4" piece for space 4. I swear I am dyslexic and struggle with these kinds of things. I want to do it SO badly though , I will persevere!

@sherryverwey5482 6 лет назад

Does anyone know if there is a formula to increase the PDF by to enlarge the block to a "standard" size? When I measure the block w/o manipulating the PDF it measures 5 7/8" x 5 3/4" finished - and the selvages are between 3/16" to a hair shy of 1/4"? - help please?
