Modern Log Cabin Quilting
My new book, Modern Log Cabin Quilting, is out this week! You can find it at Powell’s, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Bolt, Cool Cottons, Modern Domestic, or your local bookstore or fabric shop.
I have a book website right here with events (starting April 2), corrections, reviews, tutorials + videos, and lots more if you want to find out more about it!
It includes 25 log cabin projects to make – 10 quilts plus 15 patchwork projects like bags, pillows, and kitchen bits and pieces.
Northwest Modern Quilt by Daniela Caine
All of them use the same simple, basic log cabin piecing structure, but in a variety of scales, styles, and fabric choices, so everything is super-customizable but still beginner-friendly.
I also got to include some bits of log cabin history along with tips and techniques for getting started, or just mixing some of these ideas into your own quilting or other craft projects.
If you make anything from it, I’d love to see photos – please add them to the MLCQ flickr pool! And I hope to see you at one of the Portland or Bay Area events soon too.

I just saw this book on CraftyPod- I’ll have to keep an eye out for it! What caught my attention was the denimn tote- I did a floor/dog pillow with denimn from old jeans, using the one block, field/furrow arrangement. I did it a year ago. Now, I’m reinspired to do more! Thank you!

We just gave away a quilt that we improvised from your book. Modern Crosses came out fabulous. The quilt now is a comfort quilt for a friend with melanoma.
