What is a mock log cabin?
#2
Anita Hallock has one version in her booklet called "Super Sixteen". I haven't made it yet, but it looks less time consuming than a regular log cabin and results in the same look of "logs". Here's a link:

And I've also heard them called "faux log cabins" if someone does a search.

I had never heard that term and I did look at the pictures. Traditional Log Cabin is a relaxing, easy pattern to me and the pictures of the new way seem less so. I guess without doing both, I will reserve judgement.

I agree, I didn't think that pattern looked any easier. But without trying, hard to say...

I found this link http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...k_logcabin.htm which is a little different.
But actually, I like the one Kathy T. provided better.

I looked at it, separate blocks on their own need to be paired up to make the design I think anyways, it is easy I think, again, as it is sewn in strips in order to create block. Something to think about. Thanks for sharing this method.

Yes, me too. My daughter asked i make a quilt of sorts to fit over her coffee table to cover the edges, so might try this one. It should work up fairly quickly and I am doing it scrappy. Will see, I say that about a lot of things.
