The curve will be more evident if you re-arrange the blocks....just play around with it some...perhaps an 'open window' layout.

Here's a link to some log cabin settings. I agree that you'll be pleased with the result once you change the setting of the blocks.

Like everyone else, rearrange the blocks into something more pleasing and I think you might like it better. Newborn nursery? It sure doesn't scream Baby but I wonder if you have an adult in the congregation who would enjoy this as a thoughtful gift. Perhaps someone undergoing long-term treatments? A shut-in? Wheel-chair bound? Or maybe have it in the sanctuary for someone who needs a little warmth during services? I do like your colors! Very rich.

They remind me of toy trains, so you could embellish them with lighter colours, but I would also put sashing to separate them. This would make a lovely quilt for a small child.

Everyone is correct , rearrange the blocks to show off the ( curvy log cabin ) blocks and the colors will work. They are lovely. Just need to be laid out to show the design.

I agree completely, it needs a darker color along the bottom. The current fabric seems out of place. Making that change and rearranging your blocks is what I would do.

I agree with the others. First thing I thought of. Many patterns for a log cabin. Just google or go to the gallery here.
