Let me get to the question....
How do I quilt it? I will probably hand quilt the darn thing, but do I quilt EVERY little strip or every other?
Any and all suggestions are wanted/needed.
I just finished quilting a Courthouse steps quilt yesterday and its very similar to the log cabin. all I did was quilt around the center square and then around the last strip. My strips were 2 1/2" wide. It turned out great. I machine quilted about an 1/8" away from the ditch. I also went around a couple of the borders the same width. Hope that helps. I'll be posting a photo of it shortly.
Cheers
