My 2014 commitment
If I post I have to do it, right. About 8 years ago I tried my first Log Cabin quilt, what a mess. It did go to the landfill. Since then I have tried to do Log Cabin Blocks. My sewing has been off. Bitt my tongue, didn't help. My colors really clashed. Can anyone recommend a good book or web site for a pattern. I'll need to know how much fabric to buy, etc.

I just made my first log cabin - a Christmas wreath wall hanging using the Eleanor Burns method. I had to read the instructions about 8 times before they made sense, but once it clicked it was really very, very easy. Haven't tried Judy Martin's method yet do have one of her books, so will be trying her method out in some fashion this winter.

I love Judy Martin's Log Cabin Books, but some of her patterns are intricate. They have many pieces and are difficult to keep track of. If you had a problem before, maybe you should start with an easier pattern and graduate to a Judy Martin pattern. Good luck.
