So I was reading the log cabin thread and remembered that some time ago before I was really into sewing I saw this AWESOME log cabin book. I didn't buy it because I thought it would be too hard for me, but now I want it!! Of course I have no idea what it is now, so I am taking a chance and hoping maybe someone has a clue what I am talking about. I saw this book at least 5-7 years ago. It was log cabin quilts that were made to look like scenery, the one I remember that I really liked was where it was a rolling hill with log cabin sheep on it. Please please please anyone??? :) :) (That may have even been the cover art one, but maybe not)

PS my title was supposed to be "Shot in the dark" LOL now it just looks dirty I think!! :) :) :) Sorry .... I type faster than I spell! :)

P.S.S. - PatriceJ to the rescue. :XD:

I saw the sheep!The book is "A New Look at Log Cabin Quilts" by Flavin Glover.

Let me know if that is it.

Not sure if this is "the one", but maybe worth a look:

http://www.amazon.com/Look-Cabin-Qui.../dp/1571202048

and the author's website:

Is this the quilt?

Have you made anything from it yet? Is it pretty good at explaining the whole pattern?
