My first quilt (in the 70's) was log cabin. I drew and cut all the pieces by hand and none of them fit. Then when I finished my squares none of them was the same size. I bought a light and a dark and went around all of the squares so nobody ever knew. Also made card tricks, drunkards path, a sampler, lonestar, Aunt sukies choice, another one that I think is called around the twist and various other single blocks. That is all I can think of. It has really been hard for me to learn to cut with the rotery cutter because I am really math challenged. It really takes me at least as long to cut something as it would cutting a piece at a time. Of course the sewing is faster.
