About this coloring page
The page is divided into nine square quilt blocks. Each block starts with a small square in the middle, and long strips, or logs, are added around it in a spiral, getting longer as they grow outward. The spiral starts on a different side in each block, so the blocks are not all the same.
Coloring ideas
In traditional log cabin quilts, the center square is red to stand for the hearth, the fireplace of a cabin. Try that, then use light colors on two sides of each block and dark colors on the other two to see diagonal stripes appear across the page. Rainbow logs look great too.
Skills practiced
Quilting is a craft passed down through families for generations, a lovely link to history and family stories. The strips also show growing lengths, so older children can measure them and talk about patterns that grow.
Printing tips
The narrow strips need sharpened colored pencils. Plan your colors on a spare copy first, then color the final version; it makes a beautiful page to frame.
