Generally you cut the batting and backing a bit bigger to make sure that you have it covered,
The log cabin is a great pattern, do you have specifics to do it all at once or are you winging it?
I'm really winging it. I saw the pattern in a book from 1979 and really liked the puffy look by sewing all 3 pieces at one (if that makes sense). I would love to use my sewing machine, but I'm 'machine challenged'. I don't sew, my machine is new, and I can't get the tension on my bobbin corrected for some reason. I remember the word tension from an 8th grade class...a few hundred years ago.
If my first block doesn't go well, I just might have to dig out the instruction book again!
