Oh I could have written this post. I thought I had cut the correct number of logs for a 9 block log cabin....got them all sewed together and was so excited until I laid it out on the floor and realized I only had 8 blocks. Searched through my scraps and didn't have enough of the matching fabric for the 9th block....just winged it the best I could. Have sewn the blocks together and was showing it to a quilting friend the other day and I asked her, "which one of the blocks is not like the others?" she had to study it for a moment and saw it.....I had no choice but to do what I did.
My next move will be to add several borders around it in coorindating fabrics to at least make it a good lap size quilt....then I'm going to try and quilt it myself on the machine.
At some point I want to go to LQS and get them to help me pick out fabric in the right amounts to make another Log Cabin the right way.....
Mine definitely qualifies for the adage....galloping by on a horse no one will see it.......
