Description

A traditional Log Cabin pattern arranged in a diamond shape with small scale printed fabric in black, and white. Contrasting light and dark fabrics create the diamond shapes, symbolizing life’s joys and sorrows. The joys are represented by light fabric, and the sorrows by dark fabric, blending together to form the log cabin square. All fabrics, from black to white, feature small designs like music notes, stars, florals, or dots. The border is a delicate floral print in white on black fabric.  The backing is white on white floral print. Hand-stitched quilting enhances the charm of this quilt on the main body and borders on the edge.

Made by Amish couple, Linda and Elam

 

Measurements of this quilt are:

Queen Size (101″ W x 116″ L)

The following measurements are for your reference for how the quilt will fit your bed.  The drop is simply the difference in size between the mattress and the quilt, allowing the quilt to drape over the edges.

A Queen Mattress: Dimensions: 60″ wide x 80″ long.

Quilt drop: 20.5 inches on each side (which means the quilt hangs 20 1/2″ over the sides of the mattress)

All quilts are long enough to allow for a significant drop at the foot of the bed as well as a nice pillow tuck so there is no need for shams.

About This Pattern:

The Log Cabin quilt pattern has a rich history that dates back to Abraham Lincoln’s presidential campaign. Women, who couldn’t vote at the time, used this pattern to show their support for Lincoln. During the days of the Underground Railroad, a Log Cabin quilt hanging in the window of a Northern home proudly signaled a safe house for escaping slaves.
