Oops, forgot to mention that the center "Chimney" of each log cabin will be gray and the wide sashing strips will also be the same gray fabric. That use of gray within and surrounding each block will be the unifying element for what would otherwise be a very scrappy quilt that is not at all pleasing to the eye.

All blocks can easily be squared up for uniform size. We are using the wide sashing method for joining blacks and rows. I found a YouTube video Online that showed how to make a QAYG quilt with wide sashing strips. A very "finished" look.
