Cornerstone Cabin is a complicated version of a traditional log cabin quilt block. It features cornerstone squares in the rows.

Everyone wants to cut back on plastic, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to make re-usable grocery bags. If you want to make your own, this is the best pattern available. Usually to make a bag with a flat bottom involves cutting, matching or fancy folding, but this bag goes together…
