Log cabin quilt blocks are already fun to make, but a twisted version like this one by Julie A. Bolduc on YouTube makes it even more interesting!

Step 2
Start stitching the smallest outer strips to the centerpiece, then press them flatly, and trim off the excess batting. Add the next strips making sure to line up the edges as you stitch, then press, and trim off the excess. Continue the same steps until you’ve stitched every piece together and you’re done!
