“The Log Cabin Quilt pattern is one of the most enduring and versatile quilting patterns every created.  As we celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and commemorate the 150^th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, re-examining the Log Cabin quilt and its place in history and its transformation today is a natural for your quilt guild.”
