Not like trying to quilt a queen sized quilt, though, and wrestle the whole thing just to quilt it! I have done that many a time! The really neat thing about the way I did these blocks is your blocks don't have to all measure the exact same thing! When you use the back ground, attach it to all sides and put the blocks on point, wacky, then square each one up, no one ever knows your blocks didn't all measure exactly 12 1/2 inches! Love it!

I started a quilt as you go (hand quilting) Log Cabin 25 or 30 years ago. Some day, I'm going to pull it out and finish it on the machine. Sure.
