Log Cabin Quilt
The Log Cabin quilt block consists of light and dark fabric strips sewn together at right angles, representing the walls of a log cabin. The center square, usually of red cloth, represents the hearth of the home. The fireplace was used for cooking and providing warmth and light to the cabin, and was therefore the gathering place for the family. Quilt historians have found that the Log Cabin block design became popular in 1863, when the Union army was raising money for the war effort by raffling quilts made by those who stayed behind to raise children, maintain the farm, and keep the home fires burning.
