My Avatar is a log cabin and it was all scraps. I will try and post it as a picture here.

I love the log cabins. My husband & I bought a book (Judy Martin) and fabric back in the mid 1980's when on a trip to Vermont & his mother made us a quilt.

I have taken up quilting over the past 5 years (having a sewing background). Found another Judy Martin (update) book. Made a scrappy for my Uncle using her technique. The quilt top turned out perfectly square using it.

Her books offer great advice.

Anyone ever make a children's log cabin? Any suggestions for fabric or pattern?

Illinois, I know what you mean. I get the quilt pieced and then I struggle with what designs in which to quilt it with. I don't do hand quilting as I have arthritis in my hands but I quilt by machine. I want to learn free motion quilting but so far I am terrible at it. I need one of those stitch regulators but they don't make them for home sewing machine (except Berdina) and you have to have a frame.

1930's fabric looks great and I think they fit for a child at least for a little girl. Or for a little boy novelty fabrics would work.
