Off Center Log cabins
#16
Wow, LOVE this thread!!
I guess lots of us love the log cabins. I am a FALL fan so I am finding myself wanting to do eveything in those colors. I also have a WIP that is the maple leaf pattern in very soft fall colors. Won't be ready for this fall but for next year.
Karla, I am so glad you shared. Especially with it being the same colors I can really picture the outcome now!! LOL
This is just a table runner but now that I have seen your pix I am thinking I like the 2nd pic and want to try to work with that. I will let you all know when I get there.....
Thanks so much for the thoughts and ideas,
Tracy

Karla, the biggest difference are apparently the colors with ours being fall and hers being dark jewel tones.
But I think the difference that you are seeing is that
(not sure how to explain this, but....)
on the clubs, the darks are the outer most strips so that makes their cirlces touch which makes their diamonds pointier....
On yours the lights are the outer most strips, so your circles don't touch each other and that makes the diamonds fluffier.....
DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL?!?!?
Actually, seeing both I can say that your way would work better in the smaller items like a table runner because it would define the circle more.
Just my opinion, but seeing both ways helps me understand the differences that small things can make in quilting.....
Thanks again,
Tracy
