A mag article saying log cabin quilts were soooo easy & great for beginners was all it took.
Knowing nothing about fabric grain,squaring blocks or using a quarter inch seam...a straight seam, you can imagine the results.
It was a few yrs & a few quilts later before I stopped admiring long enough to admit what a wonky quilt it was.
That was 20 yrs ago & I've never had the nerve to make another LC:-)
I love log cabins, but I had the same experience as you with a Pam Bono pattern. After cutting out 4,578,000 :mrgreen: pieces, I found out that they wouldn't go together like the pattern called for. I threw the whole thing in a bag and threw it in the back of the closet, and as god is my witness, I will never do a Pam Bono again! LOL So I can totally understand your pain!!
