During the “calico craze” of the 1860s and 1870s, pieced, repeat block-style quilts predominated. Log Cabin quilts made of tiny “logs” of silk, wool, and cotton fabrics are prime examples of the variety of fabrics available to quiltmakers. They also show the creative potential available to the quiltmaker. This Log Cabin has fascinating qualities.  The maker used a pink printed wool as the light side of the block. She arranged her lights and darks in a truly unique setting which comes closer to resembling the eye-dazzler blankets of Navajo Indians than most Log Cabin quilts of the period.
