This quilt from the American Folk Art Museum is the earliest Log Cabin in their collection. Photo by Schecter Lee. Quilt description:

This quilt is constructed in a Barn Raising pattern in which light and dark fabrics are arranged to form concentric diamonds. Made mostly of cotton and wool with some silk pieces, it was probably intended as a functional bedcover.
