In honor of National Quilting Day and the creative heritage it celebrates, try your hand at our paper versions of this year's log cabin pattern. Carol Jo was traumatized by a sewing machine at a tender age, so she expresses her love of quilts by fashioning them from used greeting cards and paperboard boxes. As fabric quilters know, the variations are endless!
