Wonky Log Cabin

I’ve heard the ladies at the Guild talking about Wonky Log Cabins but I never understood how it was put together. I can see this as a way to use up scrap pieces, but I think you’d need quite a pile of scraps before you had enough to do a complete quilt with. This pattern is popular for our Community Quilt donations.

This was the first block for this lesson. I think this is the look the instructor was going for although it looks more off-centered than wonky.

 

 

Wonky 5-Sided Log Cabin

 

This piece used a lot of fabric and there are a lot of useless bits left over. Maybe if the block were smaller that wouldn’t be the case. It seems like a variation on a string quilt, but with more cutting and waste.
