Katier825,
RUN to ebay or Amazon and find #5 A Log Cabin Notebook by Mary Ellen Hopkins! or Log Cabins, New techniques for Traditional Quilts by Janet Kime!
In my lifetime I will never get to make all the wonderful Log Cabins that I have inspired me in these two books.

I have a book by Carol Anne Wien called The Great American Log Cabin Quilt Book. I picked it up at a flea market. I can try and scan some of the patterns and send them to you if you would like.

There is a book out there titled Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin Quilts and it has some fabulous variations on the log cabin design/pattern. I would highly recommend it if you want something a little different.

Check out 'Log Cabin Quilts' by Rita Weiss & Linda Causee, it has a lot of variations. Another book 'Log Cabins for Everyone' by House of White Birches is interesting also, especially the pattern Log Cabin Twist.

It's a great book and some really unusual twists on the traditional. Plus, I love her construction method. I've made the Loveland one as a lappy and am now collecting FQs to make Snake River - and it's all Dunster's FAULT! :lol:

Thank you for all the suggestions! I will print up a list and check them all out when I go to the quilt shop. I did check at Joann's and they didn't have much. I like to look at the pics before I buy in case I prefer one over another. :)

I made both a log cabin and courthouse steps quilt some years ago that was really different using a technique called "Foldy Stuff". It is done on a foundation that has a grid hot iron transferred to it. The logs are cute wider, stitched along the first grid line then flipped to align with the next grid line. This makes the logs 3 dimensional.
Don't recall who was the designer but will try to find my original designs and post for anyone who might be interested.
