log cabins are my favorite blocks and there are many, many ways to do them and get some wonderful designs.. the traditional ones use all the same width strips with light on one side and dark on the other. It is fun to experiment with different sizes and shades of colors strips and see what happens.
I made a wall quilt using log cabin blocks.- white back ground blocks, green leafs and shades of red tulips. I made the top then ruined it by using a fluffy batting.
