Sinuous curves are produced with straight-line piecing in these easy off-center log cabin blocks.
The settings and design possibilities are endless! Go scrappy with your light and dark fabrics, or
choose as few as two fabrics, a light and a dark to create your quilt. Choose from two block sizes,
5 ½” finished blocks, great for wall quilts or baby quilts, or 8 ¼” finished blocks for lap or bedsized quilts.
Note: Sewing Machines and irons are furnished in class (do NOT bring your own).

Cutting: All strips are cut from selvage to selvage, about 40” long. You will not finish your top in
class, but should get several blocks done. You do not need to bring all your yardage to class, but
I recommend cutting ahead of time at least 6 of the wide strips and 4 of the narrow strips of
both lights and darks to work on in class, to allow for more sewing time. Cutting chart below
shows the strips sizes and the total numbers of strips you will need to make the different-sized
