Been there, done that! My log cabin had all kinds of issues. Maybe I'll try again once I get an accurate 1/4" seam.

I agree, paper piecing makes it almost perfect.

I have trouble with ( of all things ) the puzzle blocks. It isn't supposed to be hard, but I just can't seem to get the right squares in the right place!

Here are links to the two I've done:

I made a Log Cabin using old blue jeans. I made my "logs" a little wider. It turned out great, but it wasn't my first quilt.

Love them both but the star would be my fav. Nice work. Hope mine come out anywhere near as well as yours did. Doubtful but I can wish can't I?
:-D

If I was to make another braid quilt....never happen!....I'd make a
sample first.It's not hard,just tedious.My K size braid quilt...my 1st quilt
is so bias & floppy.Had no clue what I was doing :-)

Guess we all have a pattern or two that just doesn't work.

Wow, those are gorgeous!! I love, love, love the small "star" shaped one . . . I am working on a log cabin right now. It's definitely NOT a Quilt in a Day! Sheesh! :!:
