Supplies
- Light colored cotton for chimneys and logs. Choose at least 4 light colored cottons to compliment your wool colors. The cottons will be the 4 chimneys and one side of the Log Cabin.
- Wool (see below)
- Interfacing Fusible interfacing will be used to stabilize your wool. You will need enough fusible interfacing (light to medium weight) to cover your wool.
- Backing Cotton The 4 backing pieces may be identical to each other or 4 different fabrics.
- Batting We will be pressing each log after it is stitched to the foundation so your batting should be pressable.
