Log cabin quilts are my favorite but if you really don't want it anymore and family doesn't want it - by all means donate it but first take a picture of it so you'll always remember it. I had a couple of quilts in that category and I donated them to hurricane Katrina victims. I got such a nice thank you from the recipients and put it with the picture in my quilt scrapbook. Have never missed them yet and am sure they are being used now.
