How did you make it all come out so well? Thanks so much for your help.
I'm embarrassed to say I just got lucky! When I started the log cabin I had a different border in mind, and then I thought of brick walk which I hadn't used in a while, and thought it would look good. So the fact that the measurements came out right was just dumb luck. I don't remember which I sewed on first, although I did use a 2" border around the outside of the log cabin, and around the outside edge of the brick walk, mainly just to make the quilt a little bigger, but it ended up framing the brick walk nicely.
However, the book that I got the pattern from-"More Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel" shows the pattern as a 12"block, with 2 strips of brick walk with a strip of fabric in between them, and the bottoms and tops of the brick walk strips are cut off- incomplete strips, in other words.
