The Noggin Wall Hanging Quilt Pattern is a playful, personality-packed project that combines traditional piecing with a clever modern twist.
This charming gnome design is created using a mix of 4-inch log cabin blocks and 4-inch curvy log cabin blocks, resulting in a finished piece that feels a bit like assembling a fabric jigsaw puzzle.
Using the Creative Grids Log Cabin Trim Tools, every block is trimmed to a precise 41⁄2 inches, which means the quilt comes together smoothly and accurately — no guesswork, no frustration.
The precise trimming is what makes this project “go together like a dream,” even with the curvy elements.
If you enjoy puzzles and projects that keep your brain engaged, this pattern is incredibly satisfying.
It’s also delightfully addictive — once you make one, you may find yourself wanting to explore more patterns using this same technique!
Finished at 24in x 36in, Noggin is the perfect size for wall display and makes a standout piece for sewing rooms, studios, or as a truly unique handmade gift.
