I am making a log cabin block as a border for a quilt and my quilt is currently 63" square. I don't know what size to make my log cabin blocks to make them come out exactly the right size on the corners! Can someone help me out, please?! I can make either 7 9" blocks or 9 7" blocks, and either one will work, but I'm just not sure what size to make the logs.

I hope you can find an answer and I am sure that someone here will be able to help you. I know nothing about how to do that sorry. :)

Can you post a picture of the quilt? Is the size 63 inches from one edge to the other? Does this include the seam allowance?

I'd cut both the hearth & the logs at 1-1/2" so that all parts would finish 1" and just add logs until the block's finished.
