Fabric Requirements
You are welcome to use whatever color scheme you desire, but for the purposes of this tutorial I will use the color scheme of the quarter log cabin block shown above: a pink
center fabric, teal fabrics (teal fabric 1 = lightest, teal fabric 4 = darkest), and blue fabrics (blue fabric 1 = lightest, blue fabric 4 = darkest).
Step 1
Pre-cut the pink (center fabric) and (1) teal fabric 1 1.5-inch wide strip down to 1.5-inches wide by 26 inches long. Sew right sides together down the long edge. Press seams
open. Cut (16) 1.5-inch by 2.5-inch sections.
Step 1
Step 2
Using the remaining teal fabric 1 1.5-inch wide strips, chain sew the (16) sections from Step 1. Trim apart, press seams open, and trim to 2.5-inches square.
Step 2
Step 3
Using blue fabric 1, chain sew the (16) sections from Step 2. Trim apart and press seams open.
Step 3
Step 4
Using the remaining strips of blue fabric 1, chain sew the (16) sections from Step 3. Trim apart, press seams open, and trim to 3-inches square.

Step 5
Continue chain piecing each subsequent color to the log cabin block, noting that after each color has been added to both sides the expected size of the block below.
Step 6
Arrange the (16) quarter log cabin blocks in a pattern pleasing to you. Several layout options are below, but play and have fun discovering a layout that you like best! Sew
blocks together into rows, pressing seams open. Sew the rows together, pressing seams open. The mini quilt top should finish at 28.5-inches square.

Step 7
Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing. Baste and quilt as desired. Form the binding by cutting the number of binding strips indicated and chain sew the strips together. Bind
and enjoy your mini quilt!
