Big Log Cabin Quilt Pattern – Tara Faughnan

If you love a classic quilt block but want it to feel bold, modern, and just a little bit unexpected… this one is going to be very hard to resist.

The Big Log Cabin Quilt Pattern by Tara Faughnan takes the traditional log cabin block and scales it up into something striking and contemporary. Larger blocks mean faster piecing (yes please), and they really let your fabric choices shine.

And this is where Tara’s signature style really comes into play. She’s known for her fearless use of colour — think rich, painterly palettes, unexpected combinations, and that magical ability to make bold choices feel beautifully balanced. With this pattern, you can lean into that spirit: go soft and tonal for a calm, layered look, or embrace high contrast and saturated colour for something graphic, joyful, and full of personality.

The design itself is simple and rhythmic to sew, but the end result feels anything but basic. It’s one of those patterns where the process is relaxing… and the finished quilt looks like a total showpiece.

Perfect for confident beginners ready to try something bigger, and just as satisfying for experienced quilters who want a project that’s creative, expressive, and genuinely fun.

Pattern includes multiple size options:

• Baby 40" x 40"
• Throw 63" x 63"
• Four uP 82' X 82" AND 80" X 80"
