- Ruler
- Scissors or rotary cutter and a cutting mat

How to Make a Scrappy Log Cabin Quilt:
Step 1
Cut the fabrics to size, then take a fabric square, and get a small strip about the same length as the square. Lay them together with their right sides facing, then stitch them on the side, and press the seams with a seam roller.
Step 2
Grab another strip the same length as the current size of your patchwork, then stitch them together, and give them a good press. Get another strip almost the same length as your patchwork, then stitch to the other side, and press nicely.
Step 3
Keep adding a strip alternately to the side until you’ve completed the block, then press it nicely with an iron, and trim it down to a 7¾” square. Now, make more blocks depending on the project that you want to make.
