Red and Green Log Cabin

This Red and Green Log Cabin offers an expansive gaze as the patterns diamonds largen. With the subtlety of the beige fabric, it supports the boldness of the red and green to brighten the quilt. Floral fabrics can be found throughout the top of the Log Cabin. This queen-sized quilt has a light and dark green border that has tiny floral details. The binding is a similar green with diamonds. The quilt is finalized with a mint green backing that appears similar to a cloud. ABOUT THIS PATTERN Log Cabin quilts date back to when Abraham Lincoln was running for office. Because women could not vote, they made log cabin quilts to show their support for him as he lived in a log cabin. During the era of the Underground Railroad, a log cabin quilt hanging in the window of a Northern home indicated a safe house. The contrast of light and dark fabric represents the joys and sorrow of life. Within the design, the center of the square is to show the fireplace in the log cabin home. SIZE Queen Size — 100 inches wide x 118 inches long Sized at 100″ x 118″, this quilt provides approximately 20 inches of drop on each side of a standard queen mattress, generous coverage at the foot of the bed, and ample room for a comfortable pillow tuck—eliminating the need for coordinating shams.
