Earth Star Log Cabin Amish Quilt has approximately 5-6 handquilted stitches per inch, wonderfully small and even.
The Log Cabin Quilt pattern has grown to be a symbol of Americas values and ingenuity. Tradition has said that the central block is red, to symbolize the heart of the home, or the red chimney of the log cabin. Strips of fabric are then sewn around this central heart, in shades of light and dark, symbolizing the difficulties that early pioneers had in their westward quest, as well as the sunny, bright side of life with family and community. the Log Cabin is a great quilt for using up scraps of fabric, so many variations of this popular design were created, and are still around today.
This quilt comes with a free fabric storage bag.
