Hi, does anyone know where to find the colorado log cabin pattern? This is the log cabin that forms stars in the corners when the blocks are put together.

TIA!

I just did a very quick basic search online, but I couldn't find any free patterns; although I saw some websites that sold the pattern. I didn't go very deep into the search so you may want to try it.

I didn't plan it this way, but ends up that I have the sewing machine in the kitchen (on the table, next to the window & the best daytime light), while the iron & ironing board are in the living room in front of the computer & the TV. I don't iron anything other than my quilting, so otherwise the iron never comes out. Now that I seem to quilt multiple projects at the same time, I never close the ironing board, much less put it away. I too think it best to have to walk btwn the two, I like the break & the exercise. On wknds, if I don't go out that becomes my only form of exercise. After 20 yrs. or so of word processing, it's very clear to me I'm at my best when I get up & down very often. Now that I'm in my 50s, I find that's even more the case than before, otherwise my knees get too stiff. I've never done a Log Cabin & something tells me y'all are scaring me off it! LOL!

I'm currently binding a lotto winnings quilt that had its origins in a 2012 lotto. It will soon be finished. I also have to quilt and bind a wedding quilt. I have the pieces for three quilts cut that I was going to take to Palm Desert with me to work on over the winter. Now, we have postponed our trip because of Covid for at least a month, maybe more, so I might start working on them.

This isn't a link to the pattern but it is a good picture that shows one version of the placement of the blocks.

You use regular log cabin blocks and make the stars in the 2 strips of sashing. If you can't find a pattern you can probably figure out how to do the sashing by looking at the picture.

Well, I apologize...I'm looking again and now I'm not finding very much. I can't remember what I put in the search, but it must be because I'm at work and was in a hurry. I did find this pattern for a Colorado Log Cabin Table Runner, so maybe the pattern could be adapted for a quilt.

Eleanor Burns has a book (which I have) called Star Log Cabin Quilt. Is it the same pattern? There are various layouts just like a regular log cabin and the stars do come together when it's sashed, like Kate said. Some are 2 narrow strips and some are one wider strip....your choice.

Hope this helps....

Hi, LOOK AT THE LOG CABIN AS IF IT HAS SASHINGS AND CORNER BLOCKS. THE POINTS OF THE STAR ARE HALF SQUARE TRIANGLES ATTACHED TO THE SASHING [WHICH JUST HAPPEN TO BE MADE UP OF LOGS] THIS GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT THE STARS JUST SEWN INTO THE LOGS. I HOPE THIS HELPS. PAULA

Looking under "star log cabin quilt pattern" I did find it for sale on amazon.com. Although I can't tell for sure, it looks like it might be the only pattern in the book. Kind of pricey for just one pattern.

http://www.amazon.ca/Star-Cabin-Quilt-Eleanor-Burns/dp/0922705860

So then I went to ebay and found several auctions for this same book. One for as little as $4.99. But there's only about 10 hours left on that one, so you should hurry if you're interested.

I have Eleanore Burns' book (altho I was looking for it when this question came up and I can't find it). It is just one pattern. But it's extremely detailed. It would be a great choice for a beginner.

Thanks, everyone!
I think I found the origin of the pattern in a Judy Martin out of print book called 'Scrap Quilts'. I found the book on Abe books - time will tell if it is the right pattern. The Eleanor Burns book looks promising as well.
Thanks again!

One of the earliest classes I took when i started quilting was a Log Cabin with stars. It was from a book with templates by Sharlene Jorgenson. It was made almost as paulah above described. This first one was black and grey with gold stars and then I made another in green and beige with red stars. grandsons still have them.

I might have that Judy Martin book in my sewing room. Will check when I get home. If I have it, it might be for sale. That is a beautiful quilt!

the quilt In a day pattern uses square with half triangles to form the sash corner stars. the original colorado log cabin by judy martin has true lemoyne stars in the sashing. i can't figure out how to join as their are no straight lines. I looked closely at the cover of judy 's scrap book as someone above suggests and indeed thr colorado log cabin is indeed in the stack. but somebody else said it is not in that book. bummer. she's written a LOT of books and I hate to buy them one by one to find it. any help would be greatly appreciated!
