Another log cabin question
I have looked at lots of pictures of log cabins. My favorites are ones with 2 sides scrappy and 2 sides in light fabrics. On the 2 sides with light fabrics (whites, ivory, etc) will the logs be identical on each square or can then be different and would that be the same on the scrappy side? Hope this is clear.

Use a variety of scraps and fabrics for both the color side and the light side.. Try googling some log cabin quilts, maybe on Pinterest.. and look closely at the different versions of log cabins..
Sometimes the first piece in the middle is red, signifying the hearth of the home.. I think...
Have fun! I made lots of small log cabin quilts when I first started learning and still love making them..

I made one with a variety of lights and one with same fabric for all the lights, and it was much, much easier using all the same for lights. Just my experience. I agonized over trying for no repeats and it was a relief to not have to worry about it for both sets. I think both looked fine. Not sure if you can tell from these pics:

I once made one that is all blue (except for the red center). Two "logs" were the same for each side of the block. Other than that, it was totally scrappy. It's your quilt. You can make the rules.
