help color wise for a log cabin
#21
You're making it much too complicated. I have made scrappy log cabins and used the same medium as a light in one block and as a dark in another. It works and adds interest to the quilt (IMHO). Another option for the mediums is to use them in a piano key border, where value doesn't matter.

ok here is a different view of the florals for the log cabin quilt...
i did move the purple and teal from the medium batch to the dark batch and that does look better...
anyone else have any ideas as to any needing to be moved around?
and i was able to change the image to black and white...viewing it this way makes all the medium colors in the middle row look as if they were lights...
whatcha think?

You know, seeing the mid-range set, I don't think you should use any of those. Just use the light and dark. You have plenty of fabrics there already without adding in the mid-range set,.

which "mispicks" are you seeing? and where do they belong?[/quote]
You know I wrote this before I saw your reorganized photos, they were much better. Sorry! You're doing a great job of this. Wanted to add that I do also agree with those who suggest not using the mediums. OR you can use the them with either the lights or the darks (just don't use all three).
