Log Cabin (quilt Block)
The Log Cabin quilt block is a North American pieced quilt pattern where narrow strips of fabric surround a central square. Usually, the block is bisected diagonally, with one half using lighter colors than the other half. Sometimes the shading is not diagonal, but in alternating rectangles. Traditionally, the rectangles represent logs in a log cabin, while the central square (often red) represents the hearth. Log Cabin blocks have at least three rows of "logs", but can have more. History When English paper piecing started to become popular in America the 19th century, certain block patterns began to be called by different names. Names were not standard, but 20th-century quilt pattern books chose names for blocks while acknowledging they could be known by other names. One popular pattern was the Log Cabin. Log Cabin quilts were mentioned in print as early as 1863, with archival examples dating back to 1874. Log Cabin quilts in the 19th century were popular enough to have their ...

English Paper Piecing
English paper piecing is a method of patchwork where fabric is wrapped around fabric shapes made of thin paper cardboard or heavy paper. Once the shapes are wrapped and ready, the sewer will hand sew the shapes together one at a time until the shapes become an intricate design. The paper or cardboard is removed once the shape has been sewn to another shape on all sides. This is an art for those who like to sew by hand. The practice's name comes from the fact that it originated in England in the 1770s. Once a shape, bloc, rosette, or finished piece has been made, the papers are removed, leaving the fabric as the remaining item. English paper piecing should not be confused with Foundation Paper Piecing, nor should its name be shortened to paper piecing. Calling it paper piecing only confuses the art of English Paper Piecing. Foundation Paper Piecing uses paper to help create fabric shapes but it uses a sewing machine to sew the fabric shapes together along lines on the paper. P ...

''A Native American Encyclopedia: History, Culture, and Peoples.'' Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000: 286-7. (retrieved through Google Books, April 9, 2009) History The Wishram and Wasco are Plateau tribes that are closely related and share many cultural aspects of the Northwest Coast tribes. They lived along the banks of the Columbia River, near The Dalles. The Dalles was a prime trading location, and the tribes benefited from a vast trade network. United States military expansion in the 1800s brought European diseases, which took a great toll on the Wasco and Wishram populations. Both tribes were forced by the United States in 1855 t ...
