I think the hardest part of making a log cabin is deciding what layout to use once all those blocks are put together! When I had finished the blocks for DH's log cabin, he was away on a trip. I photographed a bunch of layouts, then posted them to facebook so he could see them and choose his favorite.

Anyone else have any other layouts? :)

Wonderful !

one of your later photos was my suggestion.

:) I like the one you picked, too.

(There are over 1,000 possible layouts of 4 half square patches)

Which one did he choose?

I liked the 5th one !!

Fortunately we both came to the same conclusion, regarding a favorite- we both liked the layout in the third from the bottom the best, because it had a lot of movement and we liked the secondary designs. Still like a lot of the other layouts a lot, too, though! :)

They are all beautiful! I think I agree though, the third from the bottom is the most striking.

Kristin that is my favourite too.

Thanks for showing those! 'LOVE that log cabin!

Amazing! Haven't done one.
