My friend told me that her daughter made a log cabin quilt for home -ec in school. She said that each square was made separately. The batting was cut just a little smaller than the backing, and each log was sewn through the batting and backing so it was quilted when finished. Then she joined the individual blocks to make the quilt. Now that I explained it, I spose I could figure it out for myself :lol: I would just cut my backing to about an inch larger than I want my finished square, so I can join them with a 1/4" seam. Add a border and, and it is finished. Does that sound about right? If I used different fabric for the backing the squares, the back could be as interesting as the front.
