GO! Curved Log Cabin AccuQuilt-Along, Part 5: The Reveal and Community Showcase

It’s time to celebrate. The GO! Curved Log Cabin Wall Hanging AccuQuilt-Along has wrapped up, and the community response has been everything we hoped for and more. Quilters at every stage of the project have been sharing their fabrics, blocks, tops and finished quilts in the Under the Needle with AccuQuilt Facebook group, and the variety of interpretations has been genuinely stunning.

Below is a look at where Erica and Pam landed, plus a few standout community projects that show just how far creative fabric choices and a single die can take you.

About This Quilt Along

The GO! Curved Log Cabin Quilt Along was inspired by the GO! Curved Log Cabin - 9" Finished die and the free wall hanging pattern designed and created by Mary Anne Fontana of Fontana Originals. Erica made a purple version early on that sparked the idea, and from there the quilt along grew into a five-part series.

The project uses three dies:

  • GO! Curved Log Cabin - 9" Finished die
  • GO! Square-3½" (3" Finished) - Shape 2 from the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Finished Block
  • GO! Quarter Square Triangle 3" Finished - Shape 4 from the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Finished Block

The free GO! Curved Log Cabin Wall Hanging pattern is available to download below.

Erica and Pam’s Projects

Erica - Halloween Colorway

Erica’s wall hanging top is complete, and her binding is cut and standing by. She chose Halloween fabrics in shades ranging from a light print background to deep purple and black batiks, creating a gradient that makes the curved visual effect of the block really sing. She’s planning to quilt it in the hoop on her embroidery machine using a spooky quilting design — a perfect match for both the scale of the wall hanging and the theme of the fabric.

Pam - Bright Expanded Throw

Pam took the pattern in a bigger direction. She added an extra row all around to turn the wall hanging into a throw quilt size, mapping the expanded layout by hand on her printed pattern before cutting a thing. Her fabric palette is bright and sunny with a touch of sparkle, using Seasons by FIGO Fabrics for the background and Glisten by Patrice Lose for her graduating colors. She’s planning a scrappy binding using her leftover project fabric, cut with the GO! Scrappy Binding die and will most likely send her top to her local longarm quilter for finishing.

Community Showcase

Some of the most inspiring, finished projects in this quilt along came from the Under the Needle with AccuQuilt Facebook group. Here are a few that stood out.

Janice - First Finish

One of the earliest finishes in the quilt along came from Janice, who managed to complete her top, quilt and bind it before Erica and Pam had even finished their tops. She chose a modern palette of teals with gold and peach accents, and her quilting design perfectly complements the geometric structure of the blocks. The result feels fresh and contemporary while honoring the classic log cabin tradition.

Liz - Winter Colorway

Liz chose a range of frosty blue to white prints featuring snowflakes, creating a wall hanging that will be right at home during the cold months of the year. The way she arranged the blocks seems to give the snowflakes a sense of movement and a flurry of wonderful wintry blocks that look even better in person than they do in photos.

Laurie - Making It Work with Different Dies

Laurie’s project is a great example of how quilters can adapt a pattern to the dies they already own. She used the GO! LeMoyne Star – 9” Finished die for her start blocks and the GO! Log Cabin – 12” Finished by Leslie Main die for her log cabin blocks. She used just enough logs from that die to create 9” finished blocks that matched perfectly with the LeMoyne Star blocks. The same finished size, a completely different die combination.  

The scrappy red and white fabric choices make Laurie’s wall hanging work for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or any season.  A genuinely versatile piece she’ll reach for year-round.

Where can I find the free pattern?

The GO! Curved Log Cabin Wall Hanging pattern is a free download at accuquilt.live. Search the pattern title directly in the site search bar or visit the free patterns section under Discover.

Can I make this quilt using the GO! Log Cabin by Leslie Main instead?

Yes, with some adaptation. The GO! Log Cabin - 12" Finished by Leslie Main has uniform-width logs, so you won’t get the curved visual effect that comes from the two different log widths on the GO! Curved Log Cabin - 9" Finished die. However, by using fewer logs from the Leslie Main die, you can create a 9" finished log cabin block that will set correctly alongside 9" Ohio Star blocks, as Laurie’s community project demonstrates beautifully.

What dies do I need for this project?

The standard pattern calls for three dies: the GO! Curved Log Cabin - 9" Finished die, the GO! Square-3½" (3" Finished) and the GO! Quarter Square Triangle 3" Finished. The square and QST shapes are both available as shapes in the GO! Qube Mix & Match 6" Finished Block, and the QST is also included with the GO! Me cutter.
