The execution of the Log Cabin pillow begins with a central spuare surrounded by crocheted blocks. I have written down my Log Cabin composition. There are 13 colours in the pattern but you don´t need to use as many. You can easily get a very nice result with fewer colours. The front of the Log Cabin pillow is sewn to a pre-made pillow cover bought separately.
