An excellent version of the classic log cabin design, this fabulous Lessa Siegele Twisted Log Cabin pattern takes a much-loved classic pattern and transforms it into a dynamic piece of optical illusion art.

With the use of graduating shades your hexagon or flowers will become 3D and literally look like they are ready to spin off the quilt.
