Log Cabin oops....can I fix this?

I just realized something---------------------this is not a question about a real log cabin. In the first picture, there is NO indication the quilter even intends to use lights and darks, only the reds with the center as cream.
So, most of us are probalby picturing a true log cabin--------------thus our answers

But the problem is that I addressed the issue of block construction (all reds around a cream center) as soon as I realized my error in not providing that info in original post. That particular response was at the bottom of the first page. That tells me that nobody reads any further than the original post before giving a response. There is usually a treasure trove of info in the following posts, so I try to read them all if the original post has grabbed my interest.

You are right, Buckeye Rose, usually no one starts from the original post and reads through the other posts. I don't understand why our members do this. I read over and over again the same recommendations for a situation. Just don't get it!

If you haven't given up by now - I think this is fixable. Attach log 5 as you are. But put log 6 on the bottom, rather than the top (so it touches the cream square. Then, put log 7 where it belongs, log 8 on the bottom, and continue in pattern. That should center the cream square, and be almost unnoticeable.

I have been concerned with this for a long time. I think if we want to respond to a post, we should first read all the other responses (even if there are 356 of them). Most times I have found that someone else has answered the original answer very satisfactorily, so I needn't bother adding my two cents worth. I also learn a lot from other's answers.
