I don't know if this link will work or not. It is a picture of a log cabin star quilt I hand quilted. I did stitch-in-the-ditch on the colored part of the star and did diagonal lines on the white background "logs". (The white part is pieced logs.) If you are comfortable doing straight lines, you may want to go diagonally across the quilt instead of in the ditch.
