2 The artistic expertise of nineteenth-century quiltmakers awes us today as we dig into our stash to replicate their naive mastery of design. I often imagine our quilting sisters of long ago tossing light strips into one scrap bag and dark ones into another. Marianne

3 Log Cabin Quilts 3D Diamonds Quilt Several Log Cabin variations call for assembling the blocks so that four dark sides come together and four light sides come together, forming a dark/light diamond pattern. The 3D Diamonds pattern uses the traditional single red square representing the chimney as the center of the block. (Note: For the quilt projects, some of the dimensions and patterns may have been altered slightly to conform to today s cutting and piecing techniques.) 3D Diamonds A version of Sunshine & Shadow, this Michigan quilt is foundation pieced in a variety of woolens and cottons, built around red wool flannel chimney blocks. The cottons are roller-printed. The quilt was made around 1880 by Emma Elizabeth Warren of Willis, and donated by an instructor at Scotch Settlement School in the Edison Institute Schools.
