WELCOME to the forth week of the Cabin Spark QUILT sew-ALONG!

If you have been following along through my Instagram account, then you know that there's still time to join the fun and catch up with the previous posts/weeks.

Cabin Spark quilt-along schedule:

 

• Week 1, October 24 - Kickoff + Fabric Pull 
• Week 2, October 31 - Cutting Party
• Week 3, November 7 - Block Construction
• Week 4, November 14 - Layout + Assembly
• Week 5, November 21 - Quilting + Finish

Here's the quilt pattern, that can be purchased in my Etsy shop.

And here's the video where you can watch me assembling the blocks and arranging them into a quilt top!

The layout and assembly stage is where individual blocks transform into a complete design, and with log cabin quilts, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Assembling quilt blocks into a quilt top is a crucial step in quilt making.

So, lay out your completed, trimmed quilt blocks on a flat surface, such as a design wall or the floor, to plan the arrangement and inspect your blocks, checking if all units have been placed correctly.

Stand back to view the quilt as a whole—sometimes stepping away from the layout gives a clearer perspective on contrast and balance. Snap a quick photo on your phone; seeing the design in a smaller format can help you spot areas that may need adjusting.

If you’ve used a mix of bold prints, softer tones, or novelty centers, try spreading them evenly across the quilt so the eye moves smoothly around the design. If you love asymmetry, cluster them intentionally—there’s no wrong way, only what feels right for you. The thrill of piecing together your meticulously crafted quilt blocks into a cohesive and visually striking quilt top is what quilting dreams are made of. It's the moment when your vision starts to take shape, and the story your quilt will tell begins to unfold.
You have the option to take your quilt to the next level by adding maybe even some sashing strips for that extra touch of elegance or borders to frame your masterpiece. These are your artistic choices, your chance to make your quilt truly remarkable.

So, gather your blocks into rows and prepare to assemble the rows together and witness the transformation of your quilt blocks into a captivating quilt top. This is the moment when your hard work truly pays off, and your quilt takes its rightful place as a work of art.  
I am really loving mine, but I just can’t wait to see your versions!
