I love log cabin quilts they are so my favorite to make, and you can do nothing but log cabin quilts for ever and make no two alike! The settings, the blocks,and how you do the color ways and the shapes! and I like to mix blocks too. so thumbs up for log cabins. some of my non trad log cabin quilts

Others .... to answer your question, just stalk BarnBum and check out her threads.
Also, for Log Cabins inspiration, check out the gallery as there's two sections. One for traditional, the other non-traditionals.

get the eleanor burns book!! you sew all at the same time like an assembly line and will have it done in one night! i did... easy.... if everyone wanted a log cabin in my family, i would say yes to all......
I have to agree in a way. I too am making my first log. Strip piecing. I can get one block complete in about 3 hours. I wonder if this is a norm? My blocks are 10 in

Same here NJ Quilter. When I first started, made a queen-sized log cabin for my bed. Beautiful color combinations and so many different designs. But just didn't understand it. Had to get my sister to help me complete it. But I glad I did and I'm glad it's over. Never Again!!
