I haven't made one in over a decade. PM me if you would like me to draw a log cabin quilt 2 post on the thread.
Thank you so much but that would be too much trouble for you. I was thinking an 82 x 96 with 3 darks and 3 lights. Maybe 6 across and 7 down with 2 inch strips. Something in this ballpark. I am currently doing a king scrappy and have made at least 3 trips to the LQS for more fabric. I wanted to do this one in the order of graduating from the lightest to darkest. I had several older books with the patterns in them but I always give everything away. Not complaining because I am blessed to do so. Thanks again for all the helpp
